Vermont Ski and Sport owner and sup racer Jonathan Bischof has been racing on the new 2017 RP 12’6” 26” model for the past several months, achieving several regional podium spots. He had this to say about the 2017 RP:

"After spending countless hours training and racing on the RP 12'6", I can truly say they are unique and remarkable race boards. Riviera really nailed it with the 2017 RP's. Whether you're racing and training in flat water or ocean conditions the RP handles it all."

Jonathan wants to share this knowledge and experience and can be reached by email with any sup, racing, or training questions.

The Riviera Paddlesurf pro team also took home the third place spot in the annual Manufacturers Cup at the Pacific Paddle games using, you guessed it, RP series race boards. The PPG (The Pacific Paddle Games at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California) is the most important, well attended race of the year, with many Riviera team members reaching the podium in their respective divisions.
