Boardworks 12'6" Raven Inflatable Paddleboard
Raven hardboard outline that points and glides
The Shubu Raven borrows the same touring outline as Boardworks' popular Raven hardboards, with a tapered bow and turned-up nose rocker that keep it tracking straight under load. At 12' 6" long and 30" wide it is built for touring, fitness paddling and all-around use, holding a stable line whether you are sprinting or cruising loaded.
- 12' 6" length with 30" width for glide and stability
- Turned-up nose rocker shaped after the Raven hardboards
- Touring outline tuned for fitness, racing and all-around paddling
Six-inch drop-stitch that paddles like a hard board
A 6" extra-light, extra-rigid drop-stitch core gives the Raven a stiff, responsive platform that holds its shape under a paddler's weight. The board inflates to a firm touring pressure so it feels closer to a hardboard than a typical inflatable, while still rolling down to packable size.
- 6" thickness for maximum rigidity and float
- Extra-light, extra-rigid drop-stitch core construction
- Inflatable build packs down for travel and storage
A removable fin and capacity for every paddler
A removable center fin lets you tune tracking for open water or pull it for shallow runs and easy packing. Rider capacity scales with skill, supporting up to 250 lbs for novices, 275 lbs for intermediate paddlers and 300 lbs for advanced paddlers.
- Removable center fin for tracking and shallow-water versatility
- Up to 250 lbs novice / 275 lbs intermediate capacity
- Up to 300 lbs capacity for advanced paddlers
Everything packs into one travel-ready backpack
The Raven ships complete and travel-ready, rolling into an included backpack so it stows in a closet or checks as luggage. A high-volume pump, inline pressure gauge and color-matched rubber patch kit come in the box to get you on the water and keep you there.
- Included travel backpack for packed-down transport
- High-volume pump with inline pressure gauge
- Color-matched rubber patch kit for field repairs

Great company. Colton was very helpful in selecting a great paddle. Very knowledgeable.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookGot my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookSo pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookI bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookThe Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookBought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
★★★★★ Recommended on FacebookYou guys rock — super fast shipping and my kayak got to my doorstep without a scratch. It was definitely packed with care! I'm already recommending you to all my kayak friends.
