The Three Series
Charge Series: Built for Whitewater
The Atcha 86 and Atcha 96 are Hala's dedicated whitewater boards. Both run the patented StompBox 2.5 retractable fin, built for Class II-IV rivers. The 86 is the shorter, surfier, more playful option. The 96 adds volume and stability for bigger water and heavier paddlers.

Expedition Series: Go Everywhere
The Radito and Rado are built for paddlers who refuse to be limited to one type of water. Rivers, fishing, multi-day expeditions, lakes - both do it all. The Radito is more nimble and responsive. The Rado is longer, holds more gear, and stays steadier on bigger water. Both use the StompBox 2.5 retractable fin.

Cruise Series: Flatwater to Class III
The Straight Up and Hoss are Hala's all-around boards. Lakes, rivers up to Class III, fishing, touring - they go everywhere with a quick fin swap. The Straight Up is the sportier, nimbler option. The Hoss is wider and more stable. Both include a LeverLock adjustable paddle and use a standard Air7 fin box.
