Discover the Rio Aquadesign inflatable kayak, also known as Cano-raft Rio or Canoraft Rio Aquadesign. This boat is specially designed to meet the needs of canoe and kayak professionals who seek robustness, adventure, and durability to offer exciting excursions to their clients.
With a maximum load capacity of 310 kg, the Rio kayak can comfortably accommodate two people, making it an ideal choice for guides and instructors who want to safely take their clients on expeditions. Despite its generous capacity, the kayak remains relatively lightweight at only 22.5 kg, facilitating its transportation and handling on land.
The Rio kayak's solid construction is based on high-quality materials. The 1100 DTEX PVC fabric ensures exceptional resistance against impacts, abrasions, and outdoor elements, while the inflatable Dropstitch bottom provides additional stability and rigidity. These features ensure that the Rio kayak is ready to face the most demanding conditions and withstand heavy use.
With a length of 385 cm and a width of 108 cm, this kayak offers an optimal balance between stability and maneuverability, which is essential for navigating rivers of different classes. Professionals will appreciate the versatility of this kayak, which is suitable for calm waters and level 1 to 4 rapids. Whatever the nature of the expedition, the Rio kayak will allow you to navigate with confidence.
The Rio kayak is equipped with a retractable self-bailing sock, offering additional control over water drainage. In the low position, the sock allows for quick water drainage, thus maintaining consistent buoyancy in rough conditions. In the high position, the sock blocks water drainage, which is ideal for calm situations where staying dry is preferable.
For paddler comfort, the Rio kayak is available in two seating options: thwarts and bench. Thwarts provide a higher seating position, promoting better visibility and a more dynamic paddling experience. The bench, on the other hand, offers a lower seating position, enhancing stability and kayak control. Professionals can choose the option that best suits their preferences and those of their clients.
The Rio kayak is equipped with five Aquadesign RC valves for easy and fast inflation, allowing you to quickly prepare the kayak for adventure. With 2+2+1 air chambers, this kayak provides additional safety in case of puncture. Integrated handles facilitate kayak transport and handling, whether on land or in the water.
Overall, the Rio Aquadesign inflatable kayak is the perfect choice for professionals in the canoe and kayak industry who value robustness, adventure, and durability. Its exceptional design and features ensure a memorable and reliable experience for both guides and their clients.
