The Torrent Board was developed by Xylem in conjunction with a team of SonTek RiverSurveyor M9 and S5 users, consisting of hydrologists and surfboard designers. The Torrent Board has been designed for use across the velocity ranges including high velocity conditions.

The low drag, deep V keel and double concave of the board enables any entrapped air to pass either side of the instrument minimising aeration.
The Torrent Board has been successfully deployed in the field, in velocities up to 4m/s and yet still performs in really low velocities. It also comes with a drag anchor to assist manoeuvring in difficult low velocity and eddy situations.
The Torrent Board is supplied with all fixings and a handy soft case with rucksack-style straps to easily transport the board and RiverSurveyor system across rough terrain with ease.
With the addition of rQPOD (sold separately) the Torrent Board can be transformed into a remote boat for measurements and collection of data with no strings attached!
