Classic Series- White Water Spray Skirt (Small, Medium, Large)

The Classic keeps it simple with our adventure tested Classic Hull, a no fuss seating system, minimalist attachments, and bombproof materials and construction. This is the full white-water spray skirt option.  The spray skirt goes over the rafter’s shoulders and then attaches to the deck via a pex pole.  The pex pole slides into the attached deck, making a rigid circle that the spray skirt pops over.  This particular spray deck cannot be taken off- bringing up the only real down-side to this boat- its a little harder to get into, but it’s still very accessible when compared to a hard sided kayak.  Also, the attached deck is super helpful for laying your pack on and strapping it down because it won’t sink to the bottom of your raft and get wet.  It is the most comprehensive whitewater option in terms of keeping water out of your raft.  With a rain jacket and this spray skirt, you are prepared for the majority of conditions in spring, summer and fall.

Shipping

Shipping is auto calculated at check out for the 1st raft, however, shipping for 2nd, 3rd and 4th identical rafts must be added on in the product add-ons section (if you are getting several different types of rafts shipping should auto-calculate at checkout accurately without add-ons).  Round trip shipping is $40/1 raft, $50/2 rafts, $60/ 3 rafts and $70/4 rafts for rafts shipped in Montana.  Rafts shipped outside of Montana start at $50/1 raft and go up from there depending on the shipping time and number of rafts.   Please contact us directly (phone or email) to book groups of 5 or more rafts.  If shipping is incorrect at checkout, your card will be refunded/charged accordingly.  Please see shipping rate chart in FAQ for more info.

The chart below shows our recommended size based on your sit length and the Classic’s fit profile. To determine your sit length, sit against a wall with your legs flat (wearing your preferred paddling shoes) and measure the distance from the wall to your heels. The Classic is sized for a relaxed fit, meaning that a typical paddler in the recommended size can fully extend their legs and not touch the bow unless they point their toes when sitting in the boat. You can size up or down for a more performance or relaxed fit.  Generally the Small (Alpacka) will fit rafters 5’8″ and under, Medium (Yak) will fit rafters 5’8″ to 6′ and Large (Llama) will fit rafters 6′ to 6’3″.  Rafters over 6’3″ should check out the Mule (size XL)

*Max Capacity is the maximum total weight (paddlers and cargo) that the boat can reasonably carry in flatwater under ideal conditions. Actual capacity for any given trip will vary widely based on the paddler’s skill and water conditions. Please review our weight carrying capacity guide for further details.

*Weight includes all components except inflation bag, repair kit, and internal dry bags for Cargo Fly.
**Packed size is a reference measurement based on folding each lengthwise edge of the boat to the center and rolling from the bow. There are many other methods of rolling and folding boats that will result in a different packed size that may be more or less efficient for packing depending on the situation.
