SUPERFISH SPF. Series are a new breed of rafts designed on the international raft race circuit in response to the demand for a faster more efficient raft. It was very apparent that the old style raft had reached "maximum hull speed" and no amount of strong arms was going to achieve faster speed.
Design Philosophy:
Naturally the raft also needed to be able to handle whitewater. To accomplish this ARK has used new patterning techniques to create a truly streamlined raft and unlike the square cut traditional rafts, our boats continuous curves and tapered bow eliminate the plough effect of the square rafts and glide smoothly across the water. This obviously dramatically reduces the resistance and increases the speed of the raft and lessens the burden on the paddlers. In addition, the raised and tapered bow will easily ride over small holes and drops. The bailing system also now has a series of "half holes" with flaps to prevent resistance while still bailing efficiently.
Standard Features:
• Continuous curve tapered bow
• V-shaped inflatable floor
• Extra space
• Double skinned underside
• Rubber fenders
• Fixed or removable/adjustable thwart system (slotted batten)
• New zero resistance bailing system
• All welded seams.
Tube Diameter: 530mm
Thwarts: 3
Air Chambers: 8 + thwarts
Carrying Power: 8 persons
Packed Size: 110 x 75 x 55 cm
