SOLjah Inflatable River Surfboard
Description
The SOLjah Inflatable River Surfboard by SOL Paddle Boards is the ultimate wave-chasing machine, purpose-built for riders who demand serious performance from an inflatable board. Designed in the United States by Hollis Brake - one of the most respected river surfing instructors and board shapers in the sport - this board sets the standard for what an inflatable river surfboard can be. Its precision-engineered Carve Pro Surf Rail, extreme tip-to-tail rocker, and five removable Click Fins deliver the kind of control and carve you'd expect from a hardboard.
Whether you're dropping into your first river wave or hunting down technical pockets as an experienced surfer, the SOLjah is built to grow with you. It handles both prone and SUP surfing with ease, making it one of the most versatile river surfboards on the market - and its inflatable design means you can pack it up and take it anywhere the water calls.

FAQ
Is the SOLjah good for beginners or is it more of an advanced board?
The SOLjah is designed for all skill levels. It ships with five fins installed, giving beginners a stable and forgiving ride. As your skills develop, you can remove fins one at a time to unlock sharper turns and more advanced maneuverability. The progressive setup makes it one of the few river surfboards that truly grows with you.
Can I use the SOLjah on the ocean as well as rivers?
Yes - the SOLjah is rated for both river and ocean surf. Its Carve Pro Surf Rail and extreme rocker profile are engineered for wave performance in general, making it a versatile choice whether you're riding a standing river wave or an ocean break. It is not optimized for flat water or whitewater, so keep that in mind when choosing your setup.
How do the Click Fins work and can I replace them if they are lost or damaged?
The Click Fins use a tool-free click-in system for easy installation and removal. The center fin uses a Universal Center Fin Box, which is compatible with replacement fins available at virtually any surf or paddle shop around the world. Side fins can also be replaced through SOL Paddle Boards directly.
How long does it take to inflate the SOLjah?
Inflation time will vary depending on whether you use the included SOL SingleShot Hand Pump or an optional electric pump (such as the SOL 12V 20PSI Dual Power High Pressure Electric Pump). With a high-pressure electric pump, most riders have the board fully inflated and ready to surf in under 10 minutes.
What does the 5-year seam warranty cover?
SOL's industry-leading 5-year seam warranty covers defects in seam construction - the most critical structural element of any inflatable board. This is one of the longest seam warranties offered in the inflatable surfboard market and reflects SOL's confidence in their Welded Drop Stitch construction process.
Can I travel with the SOLjah on an airplane?
Absolutely. The SOLjah packs down into the included SOL Eco Rolling Sport Backpack and qualifies as an approved checked bag, making it easy to bring on commercial flights. This is one of the biggest advantages of an inflatable surfboard over a traditional hardboard when it comes to travel.
