Product Details
We pride ourselves in having a wide selection of make and models to choose from at Rutabaga, but that means that we sometimes don't have specific models or colors shown on our sales floor. If you want to come and check out a specific boat on our sales floor, please call or email us in advance to set up a viewing appointment. If we don't have the exact make and model you're after on the floor, it could take 45 minutes or more to retrieve that specific boat from our warehouses.
The Hala Playa is a glide-oriented touring and all-water inflatable SUP best suited for paddlers looking for a rig they will not outgrow as they progress. Fast, without compromising stability, this SUP is also ideal for those seeking a lightweight high-performance design.
While the Playa was initially built with ocean touring in mind, we have found that paddlers feel just as comfortable floating in a mountain lake as crushing miles along the coast. The Playa SUP Kit comes complete with an industry-leading adjustable Lever-Lock Carbon Paddle, a rolling travel backpack, hand pump, fins, and a repair kit making your paddleboard adventure accessible and easy.
Why choose the Playa over our other all-water boards? The Playa uses a more streamlined shape with a more narrow nose to make it noticeably faster without compromising too much stability. Want faster glide, check out the Hala Carbon Playa.

Details
1.5” STOMP PAD
A 1.5” stomp pad allows for precise control and maneuverability of your board.
STEP FLAT CENTER HANDLE
A sliver of the deck pad is removed from under the handle so that it “steps flat”. No more of your handle getting in the way while you’re walking your line. A removable padded neoprene handle provides comfortability for carrying the board.
DIAMOND GROOVE DECK PAD
A diamond grooved EVA deck pad allows for maximum traction through the gnarliest of whitewater sections while still being gentle enough for the bare hands and feet in your downward dog.
SOFT & CENTRALIZED RIGGING POINTS
All of Hala's rigging points are now made of high-quality webbing to prevent the knuckle-busting that metal rings cause. And since these webbing rings are designed as close to the center stringer line as possible, you don't have to sacrifice performance when you need to strap heavy gear on board.
DYNAMIC SHAPE
An all-around outline pairs with a step-down swallowtail and our RIVER ROCKER profile for stability on heavily weighted expeditions, yet responsiveness and maneuverability when you need it.

SURF ROCKER
Hala’s Surf Rocker features the minimal rise found in the tail of our Glide Rocker and the precise curve found in the nose of our River Rocker. Your center of balance sits farther back to allow the nose to naturally stand tall providing the perfect mixture of speed and maneuverability on the face of any wave!

BOTTOM D-RING FOR TOWING
Tow your board from the D-Ring rigging point located under the nose. This comes in handy on multiday river trips or for tying your board up when you want to take a break.
PADDLE STASH RIGGING
With one hand, the bungee chord upfront conveniently and quickly holds your paddle when you're doing yoga or reeling in the catch of the day!
CARBON CONSTRUCTION™
All of our Carbon Construction™ SUPs are made with patented Carbon Stringers + Woven Drop Stitch. Rather than others' featherweight carbon technology, we use dual, thick, high-modulus carbon stringers adding extreme rigidity and giving you the speediest glide you'll ever ride.
When weight shifts on the board, the top stringer resists compression and the bottom stringer resists stretching.
So while gliding over the water like a hot knife through butter, on a Hala Gear SUP the rider won't lose momentum with each paddle stroke due to the board caving in the center [deflection]. Our carbon SUPs resist deflection up to 300% better than a non-reinforced SUP.
With more rigidity proven through rigorous deflection testing, you'll get an inflatable SUP that performs like a hardboard in the water, while maintaining the convenience of inflatable portability and durability.
WOVEN DROPSTICH
Making a Hala Gear Carbon SUP even more rigid while reducing weight was a tough challenge, but with our woven dropstitch, we've done it. With Hala Gear Carbon Stringers above and below the core, we already are had the most rigid inflatable SUP on the market, but the 2021 premium woven drop stitch core material brings increased rigidity and decreased weight.
4.5” GUMMY CLICK FINS
These gummy side-bite click fins are flexible and durable for paddling shallow, rocky whitewater and perfect for control on flat water or low volume river waves.
8” FLEX CENTER FIN
This board includes our classic “surf shape” fin for good tracking and quick reaction.
ROUND TAIL
A rounded tail allows for an even and quick release while touring. When surfing you can expect long drawn-out turns and speed due to the increased surface area.
BACKCOUNTRY ROLLING BACKPACK
There’s a big difference between transporting your portable board in a wheelbarrow and lugging it around in a luxury bag that relinquishes limitation. Rolling wheels will take you right up to the check-in counter at the airport and the padded shoulder straps and hip belt allow you to access that hidden waterway beyond where the road ends.
Extra padding provides lumbar support and 5 compression straps hold to make this a compact fit. An improved zipper outline makes stowing your board hassle-free. Roll out in style to your next adventure.
