So this was a classic summer trip of Captain Cvak with sailors Rybonožka and Pustilpádlo.
During two days on the Vltava we tested a three-person packraft with the working name Giganta. It lacks the advantages of a packraft, because it is neither small nor ultralight, but then again, for a boat for three, the 6 kilos are not to be sniffed at.
Both the crew and the boat stood up to the excellent conditions not only in the Dívčí kamen (Girl's Stone) and the pre-Budějovice weirs, but also during the paddle to Sokolák directly to the centre of České Budějovice.
In the 2025 season she will be included in our fleet as a custom build.
