- Our mission for this company is to share with as many people as possible the joy of the river and all its bounties. Here at Rio Vida we believe that the river can be something that helps enrich and motivate peoples lives in all ages and demographics. Paddling has been a huge impact for me. You could say it changed my life. So if it did for me, I wonder how many other people could be touched by it. This project hopes to bring the joy of stand up paddling and other forms of river paddling far and wide in the world. It would make me so happy to see more people out inside nature and experiencing the power it holds - and what better way to do that than by paddling.
