Here are 3 riverboards which are carved in 3 different ways and shown in detail in 4 views.
Top view
Carved in the shape of a water drop. Very good holding in all circumstances and all water volumes. |
Carved especially for women, thiner shape and shorter fins. The position of the elbows is at the centre of the 3 floats, which allows for a good balance. |
Carved for a strong fellow, it is larger at the level of the pelvis. |
Front view
You can find the spoon shape on both upper and lower side, which is essential to deal with waves with big volumes. | With a rounder shape on the lower side, it allows for more subtlety and pressure. | More stable thanks to its flat bottom, it reacts more quickly to different streams. Works just like ski edges. |
Side view
Again, the spoon shape underneath. 5 layers at the level of the fins. Makes it more difficult to roll. |
Shorter and only 4 layers for the fins. | The front part is more lifted. Again, the spoon shape in the length. Thiner fins. The overall shape resembles a nutshell. |
Rear view
The inside is carved according to the swimmer’s body. The fins are « solid ». |
The position of the belly is higher. Beware that the centre of gravity is not too high: waterline level. |
More room in the middle, but still fitted so that it adjusts closely to the swimmer’s body. |
Conclusions
Here is the conclusion to draw for each type of riverboards:
Solidly-built and very easy to handle, perfect toy for waves!!! | Graceful and stylish as a woman!!! | Harmonious blend of the spoon and the nutshell!!! |
