Quick Answer: RAVE Sports isn’t one paddle board lineup — it’s two. The iSUP line (Itasca 10’6”/$599 MSRP, Akina 11’2”/$649 MSRP, Agonde 11’6”/$699 MSRP, 275 lb capacity) is a genuine size progression, per RAVE’s own product pages. The KOTA line (Sunset, Loon, Canyon, Adirondack) is a set of wildlife-graphic packages that are all the same 10’6” x 32” board — except RAVE’s own listings disagree on weight capacity between them, with the Loon package citing no capacity at all and the Canyon citing 300 lb for the supposedly identical footprint.
RAVE Sports already turns up across this site’s retailer roundups — our Academy and Target guides both flag a RAVE board priced well above its direct-site price — but neither one actually lays out RAVE’s full catalog. That’s the gap this guide fills, and it’s a bigger catalog than most shoppers expect from a brand usually seen through a big-box retailer shelf.

1. The iSUP Line — Itasca, Akina, Agonde
RAVE Sports Itasca, Akina & Agonde Inflatable Stand Up Paddle Boards
- The Itasca 320 (10'6", $599 MSRP) is RAVE's entry size in this line, built for lakes, bays, and harbors per RAVE's own product description — real-world retail pricing has shown it as low as $329.99 at discount.
- The Akina 340 (11'2" x 34", $649 MSRP, 275 lb capacity, ~22 lb board weight) sits in the middle, and it's the same board our Academy roundup found selling for roughly $300 less direct from ravesports.com than through Academy at the time of that check.
- The Agonde 350 (11'6" x 31" x 6", ~22 lb, 275 lb capacity, 5-layer drop-stitch) is the sturdiest board in the line, with a large EVA deck pad and a removable fin, per RAVE's own spec sheet and Academy's product listing.
- Unlike the KOTA packages below, these three model numbers (320/340/350) track real size differences — roughly the board's length in centimeters — so the number on the box is a genuine sizing shortcut here.

2. The KOTA Line — Same Board, Different Wildlife Graphics, Different Spec Sheets
RAVE Sports KOTA Sunset, Loon, Canyon & Adirondack Packages
- Every KOTA package — Sunset, Loon, Canyon, Adirondack — is built on the identical 10'6" x 32" footprint. The only real difference between them is the lake-and-wildlife-themed deck graphic (a loon family, a canyon scene, an Adirondack landscape) and which accessories are bundled in.
- RAVE's own listings don't agree with each other on the numbers: the KOTA Loon package cites a 17 lb board weight and no published rider weight capacity, while the KOTA Canyon package — same stated footprint — cites a 24 lb board weight and a 300 lb rider capacity, per RAVE's own retailer-published spec sheets. That's a 7 lb gap on paper for boards marketed as the same size.
- Every KOTA package includes a quick-release fin, a three-piece adjustable paddle, a dual-action hand pump, a backpack-style carry bag, a leg leash, and a repair kit — the accessory bundle is consistent even where the weight specs aren't.
- Practical takeaway: if a specific weight capacity matters for your trip, check the exact SKU's own listing rather than assuming any KOTA package matches another — don't average the Loon and Canyon numbers and assume the real board lands in between.

3. Why RAVE’s Catalog Confuses Shoppers More Than Most
Most single-brand roundups on this site find one honesty-hook — a shutdown, a rename, a price gap. RAVE Sports has two layered on top of each other. First, the brand itself splits cleanly into an iSUP line that genuinely scales by size (Itasca → Akina → Agonde) and a KOTA line that doesn’t scale at all — it’s one footprint wearing four different graphic packages. Second, within that KOTA line, RAVE’s own published specs for the Loon and Canyon packages don’t match on weight, despite both claiming the same 10’6” x 32” board. Combined with the direct-vs-retailer price swings already documented on our Academy and Target roundups, the practical lesson is the same across all of RAVE’s lines: read the exact SKU’s own listing, every time, rather than assuming any two RAVE boards with similar names or dimensions are interchangeable.
RAVE Sports by the numbers
- 275 lb — the published rider capacity for both the Akina and Agonde iSUP models, per RAVE’s own spec sheets.
- 7 lb — the board-weight gap between RAVE’s own KOTA Loon (17 lb) and KOTA Canyon (24 lb) listings, despite both being sold as the same 10’6” x 32” footprint.
- $300 — the approximate price gap our Academy roundup found between the Akina at Academy and the identical board direct from ravesports.com.
Who should buy which RAVE Sports board
- Want a real size upgrade path: the iSUP line — start with the Itasca 320 (10’6”) and step up to the Agonde 350 (11’6”, 275 lb capacity) if you need more length or payload.
- Want the sturdiest all-around board RAVE makes: the Agonde ($699 MSRP, 5-layer drop-stitch, EVA deck pad).
- Just want the cheapest complete package and don’t care about the graphic: any current KOTA package — but confirm that exact SKU’s own listed weight capacity first.
- Buying through a big-box retailer: check ravesports.com directly before paying retail-partner pricing — see our Academy and Target roundups for documented examples of that gap.
The bottom line
RAVE Sports isn’t a single catalog — it’s an iSUP line that scales sensibly by size, and a KOTA line that doesn’t scale at all and can’t even agree with itself on weight capacity between packages. The fix is the same one that applies across RAVE’s retail partners: don’t assume, check the exact listing for the exact SKU you’re about to buy. RAVE is also carried at Scheels — see our Scheels paddle board roundup for how that retailer’s shelf compares, including the one board Scheels sells that no other retailer does.
