Setting Up the New Kayak


I decided to get back into using an inflatable kayak for ease of transport to our out-of-country destinations and for extended trips. Our friend Zach Collier of Northwest Rafting Company designed a special inflatable kayak for pack-in extended trips that is now offered through Sotar as the ATV Kayak. Since I was looking for a boat that was lightweight and could carry gear on extended trips, this was the boat of choice. At 10.5 feet long, it is about the same length as a single IK with the flotation of a double. I think it will work out well. Here is my red one set up with thigh straps for greater control.
