Ultimate Inflatable Rafts For Epic Whitewater
Are you ready to up your game? Ready to make that jump to class V or V+ rapids that you never thought possible in your round boat or cat? Discover the next step in the evolution of rafting, the ultimate inflatable raft for whitewater. Paddling or rowing a CREATURE CRAFT provides one the opportunity to raft rivers once considered unrunnable. In some instances, the CREATURE CRAFT is the only way you can even consider putting on the river.
CREATURE CRAFT was born from the desire to run big powerful whitewater. Experienced river runners know how fun and nerve-wracking some rapids are by nature. CREATURE CRAFTS help to calm some of those nerves because unintentional swims are rare. So after the past decade of running some of the world's most extreme rivers, the CREATURE CRAFT Crew has even developed some tricks. "Doing tricks" is certainly possible in a CREATURE CRAFT. Back-flips, barrel rolls, endos, pirouettes, and colossal life-changing surfs are all waiting just downstream!
Self Righting System
Traditionally, with whitewater rafting, flipping guarantees a swim for the crew, exposing them to the elements and potential injury.
The key trait of all Creature Crafts is, with proper technique, they can be rolled back to an upright position while remaining seated in the boat.
Patented Inflatable Roll Cage
In a Creature Craft, the potential for a swim is greatly reduced as the paddler/oarsman rides in a seat with a lapbelt. The roll cage design provides a protective enclosure even when upside-down. The roll concept is similar to that of a whitewater kayak. If the boat capsizes, there is the possibility to perform a roll while remaining inside the boat, often continuing down the river barely missing a beat.
Designed for Commercial And Private Use
“Low Head Dam” operations are traditionally one of the most dangerous environments a swimmer, boater, or rescuer can face. With the use of a Rescue Craft, the catastrophic possibility of putting a rescuer into perfect terminal hydraulic is mitigated. This creates an effective safe alternative to putting rafts or other water craft into a low head dam.
Quick Release Seat
Every seat has a quick release system which allows a paddler to quickly unstrap if necessary. Nevertheless, like with whitewater kayaks, it is usually to the paddler’s advantage to remain inside the boat and roll it as soon as possible.
