The Safari is a new concept in inflatable design. Self-bailing, definite rocker, slight keel, compact size and low profile combine to provide a sophisticated and technical paddling experience on whitewater, ocean surf, placid rivers and lakes. When firmly inflated the Safari side tubes and self-bailing floor create a rigid, integrated hull that delivers surfing and turn carving performance comparable to hard-shell kayaks. Thighstraps, which are standard equipment, provide precise control and allow Eskimo rolling as well. Weighing a scant 24 lbs., Safari packs small in its own drybag/backpack for compact travel and storage. For touring it comes with removable tracking fin.
