A beautiful Sunday in October and the water gauge in Světlá reported less than eight cubic meters. A few weeks ago it was ten times more, but even eight was enough for a great ride.

With the first Czech kickrafter Míra and Kája and packrafts Ultima Eddy and Tramp we paddled from Smrčná to Sluneční zátoka.

It was still flowing nicely in the eight-buck condition, not much scrubbing, here and there it was swinging and we even hit some of the eddies. The campsite at Stvořidla was even open for the last time, which required beer and then a nice float behind Mr. Foglar.

Bottom line, a great ride for a few hours in ideal autumn weather. And a nice bonus - as always alone on the river...

  • 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.  

  • 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. The problem kids have in packrafting is that they have a hard time reaching the water through the wider tubes with a kayak paddle. If they are learning to paddle on a calm [...]
