Inspired by the classic Italian speedboats, the Riva Diamond Tail is a thing of beauty. It’s the tuxedo in our line up. It works equally well in a gnarly 10 foot line up as it does hanging on an art gallery wall.

The Riva Diamond Tail is that rare beast that is able to blend both form and function. The glossy aqua fibreglass and epoxy resin covers a light-weight EPS core.

The Riva is the smallest and lightest handplane in our range. It has a slightly broadened nose to assist with planning and wall drops, with a small amount of rocker in the nose. The hull leads into a flat transition area for speed and a small amount of concave in the tail for lift.

Why You Should Use A Riva?

The Riva is light and strong. It's made with an EPS Foam Core, covered in fibreglass and epoxy resin. The tight rails and subtle concave make the Riva a wave holding machine.

The board features:
- A wide comfortable handstrap with neoprene pad to protect your hand. The strap is easily adjustable in the water with one hand.
- We designed and made our own handstrap plugs so there is no compromise. These strap mounts are without a doubt, the best in the industry! They are specifically designed for handplanes.
- Comfortable wrist leash that integrates with the handstrap mounts
- GoPro plug on the nose,
- a single FCS plug on the hull for a fin (fin not included)
- The shape is the result of countless hours of experimentation over the last 4 years. This board is an optimal size (not too big, not too small) and is easy to swim with. The shape reduces face splash, and planes beautifully.
