The Mage is a next generation whitewater packraft, combining evolutionary improvements to the legendary Gnarwhal hull with performance features from the groundbreaking Valkryie. The result is the fastest, smoothest, and most responsive traditional whitewater packraft we’ve ever made. The low volume center panel stern hull is longer and narrower than the Expedition and Gnarwhal, which increases the waterline for maximum speed and tracking. But it is lighter and has more cargo capacity for long trips than the Valkyrie. A subtle increase in bow and stern rocker keep the Mage high and dry when launching off drops and punching features without sacrificing the increased speed. A one-piece dropped floor and a full length inflatable pad maximize secondary stability, edging, and speed similar to the Valkyrie. We topped it all off with a lace in whitewater seat, our patented 4-point thigh straps, backband, and whitewater footbrace for the best fit and control available. The Mage is offered in both a whitewater deck and self bailing configuration, so you can configure it for your desired use and paddling environment. The self bailing drain holes feature mesh backed venturi flaps to increase speed and keep you drier especially when surfing.
