That DOES look like fun! But I plan on using mine on a somewhat larger river.... _________________ The world is older and bigger than we are. This is a hard truth for some folks to swallow. —EDWARD ABBEY |

Cool shoot but I couldn't make it through the music. LOL. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.

I searched for Alpacka raft footage set to the Eagles, but I couldn't find any. Sorry. The music is The Prodigy; I happen to like it a lot. _________________ "Your day-glo ballet days are over." Ancient chinese proverb.

One of these days soon I'm going to have high speed internet (for my new career) so I will be able to watch YouTube! Gee, one more thing to take up my time! |

How small does that pack down to, and how much does it weigh. It seems like it has a tendency to rotate so you're butt-first downstream, much like a snow saucer. _________________ Anywhere is within walking distance if you spend the time. |

It packs into a roll, maybe 8 - 9 inches in diameter, and around 24 inches long. Mine (the Denali Llama) weighs a bit less than 5 pounds. There are a number of choices for the paddles. The one I got is a four piece carbon fiber assembly that weighs about two pounds...
There isn't much directional stability, being flat bottomed, but if you paddle carefully, you can go in the general direction you want to.... _________________ The world is older and bigger than we are. This is a hard truth for some folks to swallow. —EDWARD ABBEY |

95% of the stuff on YouTube is worse than television rubbish. Though some things are highly interesting or amusing, in the long of it, you aren't missing much. _________________ "Surely all God's people, however serious or savage, great or small, like to play.
