The Badfish Wavo is an egg-shaped, high-volume inflatable river board that is incredibly versatile and easy to use. Its shape and volume make it a really fun option for us—especially for intermediate surfers tackling less-than-perfect or mushy river waves where a little extra forgiveness goes a long way. We love how portable and durable the Wavo is, which makes it a solid choice for backcountry river missions or travel days when we don’t want to worry about damaging a hardboard. While it shines in stability and adaptability, we’ve noticed it’s not as high-performance or responsive as some of the other inflatable options out there. More experienced riders who want precision and tight turns might find it a bit limiting. Overall, though, we think the Wavo is a great, playful board for a wide range of conditions—especially when convenience and durability matter most. Plus it can double as a SUP if you have a kiddo.
