01 — HULL & STABILITY

One boat for flatwater floats and Class IV whitewater

The self-bailing Raven's stable yet responsive shape makes it fun and friendly to paddle on any river. A 4" drop-stitch PVC floor inflates to a rigid 8-10 psi for a planted, confident feel.

  • Self-bailing design sheds water automatically in rapids
  • Rigid 4" drop-stitch floor at 8-10 psi for stability
  • Handles slow-moving flatwater up to wild Class IV
Welded PVC built to take a beating
02 — CONSTRUCTION & DURABILITY

Welded PVC built to take a beating

Advanced-formula PVC and state-of-the-art seam welding deliver superior abrasion resistance, longevity and air retention, so the Raven keeps charging season after season.

  • Welded seams for superior air retention and durability
  • Three air chambers for redundant safety on the water
  • Top-quality Leafield C7 valves for trouble-free inflation
A dialed-in, adjustable paddling position
03 — SEAT & COMFORT

A dialed-in, adjustable paddling position

A padded folding high-back seat gives you a strong, comfortable position above the water. It clips quickly to the boat's D-rings, so setup, roll-up and storage are effortless.

  • Padded folding high-back seat, removable and adjustable
  • Attaches fast to interior D-rings for quick setup
  • Rolls up compactly for easy storage and transport
Grab handles and a complete go-paddle kit
04 — RIGGING & TRANSPORT

Grab handles and a complete go-paddle kit

Bow and stern handles make the Raven easy to carry to and from the water, and a full set of D-rings lets you lash in gear. Everything you need to hit the river is in the box.

  • Bow and stern carry handles for easy transport
  • 10 D-rings for securing gear and outfitting
  • Includes carry bag, pump and repair kit

Got my wife's first kayak here and the guys were super helpful and friendly. Immediately welcoming and inviting — I can't wait to go back and browse their large inventory of kayaks and gear. Thank y'all for making our experience awesome!

So pleased with my Recon 120HD! Even though they're 2 hours away I had my kayak shipped to me. The packing was great and I received it undamaged. They were super helpful over the phone answering all my questions while I chose which kayak I wanted. Awesome company!

I bought my first kayak (I'm 61) thanks to Parker's education and patience. He spent two hours with me and even after the sale continued to patiently answer my many questions and offer advice. I was completely at ease and enjoyed the whole experience.

The Mecca of anything kayaking and kayak fishing! I ordered a new kayak from their website and they had it ready and waiting when I got there. Very friendly and helpful staff, and the largest inventory of kayak accessories anywhere around.

Bought a great Nova Craft canoe here — a 3–4 hour drive from home but well worth it. It took them about 5 minutes to load it and strap it on my car and I was gone.
