RRD iWave 8ft
RRD’s iWave is a super fun bit of kit for anyone who
frequents good punchy waves with a bit of oomph.
Relatively stable for a board of 103L x 28”, any competent

should have no trouble riding the iWave – although
the heavier you are the more challenging it’ll be.

flotsam – rips and channels will make
lighter work of getting out back and it’s
no different with the RRD. The bigger
boned rider may even consider
paddling prone to get over white water
humps if there isn’t a defined pathway.
