The Riviera has been a very requested board of mine due to its ease of use for most skill levels yet very capable under the feet of people wanting to push it.The board works great in a wide variety of waves and conditions from waist high to well overhead. The Riviera has a simple yet versatile plan-shape which allows me to offer it in various versions with subtle tweaks to best suit the designs.
Typical lengths are between 6’8 to 7’4 with widths between 20 5/8 to 21 1/2 and desired thickness
The Riviera can be ordered as a channeled twin, Quad,
or Single fin + sidebites.
My deserted island board if I had to choose one....usually I'd say my shortboard or a twin fish but I don't think any board covers the bases like this board does. It'll get you through the small stuff, carving through the good stuff and hold in the bigger stuff. What more could you really ask for... a snap? pffff.
The riviera quad came about from a mini-gun/step up design actually and found that some of the same design aspects worked really well on this template for chest to well overhead waves. It looks similar to original riviera but The bottom contours, rocker and obviously fin setup has changed as well as a slightly more pulled in outline and wide point slightly back. Where the original is still a solid choice I like the quad setup for a little tighter off the lip surfing. Don't let the outline fool you, it's a very versatile board that can go where you want it to. a definite staple in the quiver.
