This paddle is created by Riviera, which is operated by Danny Ching, a former member of the US Olympic Kayak Team. Ching’s recent victory at Molokai was said to be among his op accomplishments as a paddler, and also “an eye-opener,” like his previous visit to Molokai for racing.

Ching is known for staying in the water and up-to-date on new paddling events. For the past seventeen years, Ching has been out in the ocean for at least four hours a day, most of the time with his stand up paddle (SUP). Recently, he participated in the Rainbow Sandals Gerry Lopez Battle of the Paddle event in Oahu, Hawaii, and measured up to his standing position as SUP Distance Champion.
