I had my doubts about how this raft could do in flat water. You erased this and really pushed this raft to the boundaries. Looked like tons of fun. Thanks!

Thank you for actually showing how the boat tracks. It seems most of the 'reviews' of this boat are just the technical specs, not real world applications. Much appreciated.

Hahaha awesome video. that part at the end with the cowboy hat was the best. I have the LWD and this video makes me wanna take it out on some rivers like that now! (I'm new to kayaking/packrafting and only used it on calm Lakes so far) funny how it handles the rocks and rapids just fine but a rock on a calm sand bed is what tore it.

Also, I am an amateur paddler, mostly recreational with some experience on class 2 and 3 rapids. What was your confidence level on the river in the raft? Again, great video!!!

Hi, do you have an idea how good is it in lieu of a sleeping pad? It's tempting to ditch the pad if you carry this, isn't it?

It's a nit tight to sprawl out in one of these rafts. It's fine for up to a 2 hour nap tops, but I wouldn't advise it for an overnight sleep.

Cool trip, that looks awesome. What is your height and weight, if you don't mind my asking? We are considering these for calm river travel (canyoneering) and primarily would like to lay the packs in them and float alongside. Trying to determine how many packs we can fit.
