SOLra Inflatable River Surfboard
Description
The SOLra Inflatable River Surfboard is a purpose-built prone river surfboard designed by Hollis Brake - one of the most respected river surfing instructors and board shapers in the game. A true masterpiece from Hollis Brake Designs, it bridges the gap between hard epoxy performance and the convenience and portability of an inflatable board.

Built for riders ready to join the river surf revolution, the SOLra handles rapids with extreme tip-to-tail rocker, precision fin tuning, and a construction that's as tough as the whitewater it's meant to conquer. Whether you're a seasoned wave hunter or pushing your skills to the next level, this board is built to perform - and built to last.

FAQ
Is the SOLra suitable for beginners?
The SOLra is designed primarily as a performance river surfboard and is best suited for riders with some experience in river surfing or prone surfing. Its five-fin Click Fin system does allow beginners to start with a more stable, five-fin setup and remove fins as their skills develop - so it has room to grow with you. That said, its 7/10 stability rating and high-performance rocker mean it's most at home in the hands of an intermediate to advanced rider.
How does the SOLra compare to a hard epoxy river surfboard?
The SOLra is specifically engineered to close the gap between inflatables and hard boards. Its Carve Pro Surf Rail system mimics the hard rail of an epoxy board, giving it genuine carving ability and edge control that most inflatables lack entirely. While a top-tier custom epoxy board may still hold a slight edge in the most technical conditions, the SOLra offers the massive added benefits of portability, packability, and durability against rocks - making it a compelling choice for most river surfers.
Can I use the SOLra on flatwater or the ocean?
The SOLra is purpose-built for river surfing. Its performance ratings show a 10/10 for surfing but 0/10 for flatwater and whitewater paddling - it's optimized for catching and riding river waves, not paddling across flat or open water. For ocean surfing or flatwater paddling, a different board from SOL's lineup would be a better fit.
What fins are included, and can I swap them out?
The SOLra comes with three 4-inch removable Click Fins included in the box. The board supports five fin positions total, and the Universal Center Fin Box means you can replace or upgrade your center fin at virtually any surf or paddle shop around the world. This makes the SOLra easy to maintain and customize no matter where your river adventures take you.
How does the board pack down, and is it easy to travel with?
Yes - the SOLra deflates and rolls up to fit inside the included SOL Eco Rolling Sport Backpack, making it airline-friendly as an approved checked bag. At just 12 lbs, it's light enough to carry to remote put-ins without breaking your back. The included SingleShot Hand Pump makes inflation quick and straightforward wherever you end up.
What does the 5-year seam warranty cover?
SOL's industry-leading 5-year seam warranty covers manufacturing defects in the seams of the board - the most stress-prone area of any inflatable. This is one of the longest seam warranties available on any inflatable surfboard and reflects SOL's confidence in their welded drop stitch construction. A repair kit is also included in the box for any on-the-go fixes you might need in the field.
