Get into the flow!
The kayak-like stern shape, a very narrow tubes of 25 cm diameter and only a small rocker - this just 'flows'. The boat accelerates well, steers over the hip and achieves a high top speed. Even the eskimo roll is easy for experts.
Ambitious packrafters will feel at home with it in difficult white water (IV/V), but it is also fast on calm water. The boat can inspire, but is not for beginners or universal use. In terms of weight, it also plays in the upper league.
Configurations
The large hatch, a long seat and an adjustable backstrap allow for a more centered or variable seating position for paddlers of different sizes. The fit, the interior length and a wider footspace are also designed with this in mind. Very small paddlers can additionally use an inflatable footrest or extra storage space (also behind the back).
Optional floor mat
An inflatable floor mat adds cushioning, buoyancy, insulation and rigidity to the boat. The choice is between the original GP floor mat (with integrated seat) or an Anfibio UniMat 150 (in combination with standard seat). Both mats fill the interior over the entire length and profile the floor, which meets the demand for a kayak-like packraft. However, a floor mat is not absolutely necessary. Even with the standard seat, the function is fulfilled.
Other features
The Packraft has two carrying handles and 8 loops to attach luggage, e.g. a
DeckPack. In addition it has an integrated mount for a removable fin, which increases the directional stability and thus increases the efficiency of paddling.
Use
To inflate the boat, the supplied nylon bag (inflation bag) is used, just like with other models. The residual pressure is done by mouth, which is basically sufficient. When using a
hand pump watch out for overpressure (e.g. in the sun).
In the (unlikely) event of damage we recommend the
Anfibio LifePatch. This allows repairs in the field within a few minutes. Small perforations can also be sealed with small amounts of
Aquasure.
