Related to the popular Incept W46S, this inflatable raft is shorter, has the same internal width and has larger tubes. The W44S is extremely stable in big water yet has the manoeuvrability of a 14 foot raft and the advantages of the "Square Back" design.

When used as a paddle boat the Square Back design lets the guide sit closer to the water giving better control. The longer bow allows the raft to punch through holes and yet maintain ease of control. Relative to the waterline, the crew weight is set a little further back which makes the boat handling superior over drops.
