Saturn 9.6' Inflatable White Water River Raft RD290

New Model V3.0 - German Heytex PVC, Heat Welded Seams, Premium Quality.

The lightweight and portable 2-person Saturn RD290 river mini raft is great for both fishing and whitewater rafting. The higher rocker provides an exhilarating ride on whitewater like no other raft!

It is an excellent whitewater paddleboat for 2-3 people or a nifty rowing rig for 1 person and lightweight gear.

Saturn RD290 river rafts are equally suitable for holding still above a fishing hole, or surfing on the whitewater river stream.

This thing is a hoot. I ran the Moab daily with it Saturday after getting it a few weeks ago. It was a blast. I have had it only on class 2 to class 3 stuff but it handled it all with aplomb. It is a small boat so it will turn fast and can go fast when R2ing. The down side to a small boat is it is easy to fall out of . I plan on adding a few foot cups. I have had it out with 2 adults and 3 kids age 8-12 and it was very full. Saturday we had 1-3 people in it and it was fine.
