The dinminishing model is a rowdy little raft. The rocker and shape of the bow and stern crash into waves, and then climb up and over them like a 4-wheel drive. Its is excellent for R2-R5 paddle teams. You can also outfit it with a frame if you’re into creeky, multi-day river trips. Its short waterline makes it to quick maneuver, and its width provides extra stability and elbow-room for paddlers.
