With kids, packrafting takes on another awesome dimension. Whether you go on an adventure on calm water or on a river, it's always worth it.
Children have problem in packraft with the fact that it is difficult to reach the water through the wider tubes with a kayak paddle.
If they are learning to paddle on calm water, models with narrower 25cm tubes are ideal, i.e. Eddy and Eddy SB kayaks. A ten year old can paddle them just fine.
Smaller children, on the other hand, will have fun on boats like Toronto, where they can paddle like a classic canoe. They can sit on elevated canoe seats or on a side tube like on a raft.
Anyway, with children, packrafting takes on a different dimension. The fun is always taken care of and the naval battle takes turns...

With Flextail we have been inflating our packrafts since the very beginning, but the new MAX Pump 3 is even more powerful than its counterpart. It can deliver up to 500 litres per minute at 5 kPa and you can really inflate your boat with it.
Trying out any of our models is no problem at all. Just call us, pick up and get started, for example, in the canal in Český Vrbný. This week Michal and Jitka came by and had a great time with Eddy and Tramp packrafts.
