I'd very much appreciate too see more content on white water paddle techniques on your channel. The more advanced stuff like low heel side bracing would interest me the most. Love your channel, keep it up!
I think so. More durable. Easier to fall on. Leas likely to damage both your board and yourself. Of course not all ISUP boards are the same. A whitewater specific board designed with an aggressive rocker profile, durable, and with fins that don’t get hung up is key. Like the Hala Atcha.
Not from normal river use, such as smashing into rocks, riding over ledges, etc. Nor with the heat of the day or driving over passes. However, I did lacerate a rail in Panama after I mistakenly tied a board in a tidal zone only to have it rub razor clams. AND, I did have a board pinned behind a waterfall on the Middle Deschutesl years ago. After several hours behind there, the board did blow a seam .
I've been banging my Hala against rocks for years. Deflate them to just their form in the winter and 303 protect them once a year. Keep them away from heat and metal objects and they will last decades.
I really appreciate the description. It does look like an epic place to paddle. I would like to try something like that sometime.

Великолепно! Браво! :-)
Mad skills...respect @suppaul
Are inflatable paddle boards able to handle white water and rocks?

Have you ever had or seen a hala board just pop out there on the water?

@@SUPPAUL in general though pretty dang durable.
@@David-kg1hc The river series is built for the abuse of rivers, and designed for river play. All the newest Hala boards have a 5yr warranty.
@@SUPPAUL thats awesome, thank you much.
