Fishing inflatable open rowing boat
WATERSTRIDER WS24X
Incept
Inflation Valves - The raft air valve system is an industry-standard commercial Halkey-Roberts valve that will stand up to many years of dependable use.
Air Ride Seat - This is at the heart of Water Strider’s success. Developed in 1998 to replace the original board seat, and patented, the air-ride seat is superbly comfortable, it is self bailing and under service conditions it adds 60 kg flotation to the raft for load carrying capacity and safety. Because the raft sits higher in the water you ride over more just-submerged obstacles, you get more stability and you get significantly better performance – speed in calm water, and maneuverability in fast water. These benefits are important because they give you more tolerance in difficult situations. Because the air-ride seat is inflatable, the raft packs down significantly smaller and lighter.
Equipment Straps - Two equipment straps alongside the seat are fitted to keep your gear in your boat and out of your way for quick-water maneuvering. You can slip your fully rigged rod under a strap at a moment’s notice, navigate a rapid and be back on the job fishing again without missing a cast.
Oar Locks - The oar locks are designed to hold the oars captive with stainless steel pins to prevent oar loss and keep the oar blades at the right angle at all times. Stowing the oars so they are not dragging in the water when not in use is as simple as reaching forward and giving the grips a little twist. The oar retaining nuts are attached with robust lanyards.
