Ultra stable, light, tough and easy to handle, Pablo will take you from the river on your doorstep to the end of the world. Do you plan to paddle some white water ? Go with the thigh braces and fixed spray deck to have great control and stay dry in all circumstances! Are you looking for even more flexibility? Then go for the fully removable spraydeck and adapt your packraft to each outing and weather conditions.

At only 4.1 kilos off the scales in Standard size, Pablo offers an excellent compromise between weight and durability, and can be kept discretely in your backpack or your bike rack.

The favourite companion for bikerafters and long distance adventurers, Pablo is an all-round player. Thanks to his carry capacity of 140 kilos and the possibility to add an internal storage system, you can head out for several days! Run & paddle free!

Recommended for: Moderate rivers (class II to III), lakes, calm seas. The Plus size is recommended for taller paddlers (over 180cm) or those that will regularly be carrying their two wheeled steed or four legged companions.

Pablo in action

Cutting edge innovation

Like a catamaran, the double hull shape on our 2024 model is designed to be stable in all conditions: important for beginners and bikerafters!

The flat profile gives better tracking and smoother behaviour on the water. 

 

It comes with all our latest improvements: a fast inflation valve, a compact EVA foam backrest and a large inflation bag. As always 100% HF welded, 100% made in France. 

Clean your packraft with ease: an evacuation hole at the back of the fixed version spraydeck allows you to remove any water or dirt that gets in during paddling.

The one-zip removable spraydeck (optional) makes it possible to go from an open to a decked boat in the blink of an eye. Be ready for all weathers conditions!

Our boats are made from high tenacity nylon with double TPU coating. For increased resistance, opt for our Armor fabric (optional), which offers incomparable performance.

FAQ

Our Armor fabric is made of high tenacity 420 denier nylon with a double TPU coating. It is extremely tear resistant (+60% compared to the Classic version) and abrasion resistant. It is however heavier than the Classic fabric (+650 gramms for a one-person raft).

Le principe est le même que pour un pontage fixe à la différence près que le pontage amovible est fixé au packraft via un système de fermeture éclair qui permet de le retirer totalement.

Les avantages ? Vous gagnez en polyvalence, vous pouvez ainsi décider de laisser votre pontage à la maison lorsque les conditions le rendent facultatif (navigation en eau calme, eau tempérée) et économiser jusqu’à 900 grammes (pontage + jupe + arceau + dossier). A noter que le zip, bien qu’il soit déperlant, laisse entrer un peu d’eau à travers les dents. Le pontage amovible n’est donc pas parfaitement étanche, au contraire du pontage fixe. On le recommande jusqu’à de la classe II, au delà il est généralement préférable d’opter pour le pontage fixe.

The internal storage system consists of an airproof zipper (Superseal by Tizip) that is welded to the back of your packraft. By opening the zip you have access to the inside of the boat and can store you gear (tent, sleeping bags, backpack…) safely. Think about it like turning your packraft into a giant dry-bag. You have over 200L to store your gear. More than enough space for even those that can’t leave home without the kitchen sink. Zip it up and you are off!

The internal storage system is extremely practical for those that want go on an expedition for several days or weeks and need to bring a large quantity of equipment and provisions. During day trips, it is not essential, but makes life easier. 

Please remember that the zipper needs to be treated delicately and cleaned regularly. Because of this is is excluded from our warranty, like other manufacturers. If you zip is not maintained and becomes damaged or dirty it will leak slightly. In conclusion, if you are not someone who is not very careful with their equipment, maybe you should think carefully about adding this option.

Pablo is available in two sizes, Standard and Plus. The choice depends on both you size and the amount of gear you are planning on taking with you during your trips.
If you are over 1.80m or you plan to use your boat to bikeraft frequently and carry your bike at the front, then go for the Plus version. If this is not the case, go for the Standard.

You can choose from the following colour schemes:

– Chartreuse Yellow/Emerald Green/Pacific Blue & Black.
– Grey & Black (Classic Fabric).
– Red/Orange/Yellow & Black (Armor version, +165€ extra charge).

It is also possible to customise your packraft by choosing the colour of each section. Customisation costs €50. The e-shop does not yet allow you to select the desired colour(s), so please send us a message when you order.
