Description:
A small raft that handles like an inflatable kayak. The AIRE Puma Self-Bailing Raft (NRS item 87004.01) pairs the agility of an inflatable kayak with the cargo room of a raft. It paddles with two to four people or rows two people with light gear, and its narrow width gets it down smaller rivers and creeks than conventional rafts. That makes it a handy boat for small swiftwater crews working tight water. Compare more rescue boats and rafts.
