D Series 14ft 3in Raft

AIREcell is a lightweight and durable air chamber material made from urethane, specifically designed for rafts. Its puncture-resistant properties ensure that your raft can withstand rough conditions while remaining flexible. Choosing a raft with AIREcell technology means you’re investing in a product that offers both performance and longevity, making your outdoor adventures safer and more enjoyable.

Diminishing Tubes are designed to taper from the center of the raft to the ends, which significantly improves maneuverability and stability. This design allows you to navigate through rapids more effectively and sit closer to the water, giving you better control and responsiveness to the river's movements. If you’re looking for a raft that can handle challenging waters, this feature is essential.

A self-bailing raft has built-in holes or valves that allow water to drain out automatically, keeping the interior dry and reducing weight. This feature is crucial in whitewater conditions where splashes and waves can fill the raft with water. By choosing a self-bailing raft, you can focus on enjoying your adventure without worrying about constantly bailing out water.

Thwarts are cross-supports inside the raft that provide structural integrity and seating for paddlers. They help maintain the raft's shape and offer a stable place to sit or brace yourself during navigation. While thwarts are sold separately, they are highly recommended for added comfort and safety, especially in rough waters.

A lace-in floor is a flooring system that is secured by lacing it into the raft's frame. This design allows for easy removal and replacement, making cleaning and repairs hassle-free. Additionally, it enhances the raft's self-bailing feature by allowing water to flow out easily while providing a stable surface for paddlers. Opting for a raft with a lace-in floor means you’ll have a more convenient and efficient experience on the water.

The combination of AIREcell material, Diminishing Tubes, self-bailing capabilities, thwarts, and a lace-in floor creates a raft that is lightweight, durable, and highly maneuverable. These features work together to enhance stability, control, and comfort, making your rafting experience safer and more enjoyable. Investing in a raft with these advanced features ensures you’re well-equipped for any adventure on the water.
