Fin Whale

Longer Than Barracuda R2

The Fin Whale is a newly designed high-capacity packraft. The hull is constructed from 420D reinforced nylon TPU material for optimal rigidity.

The 210D version is NOT available, and NO multicolor options.

The raft’s length has been increased, while a fully streamlined shape has been adopted for improved performance. Compared to the Barracuda R2, the interior space has increased by 30%, and the distance between the front and rear seats offers more space for paddling.

The middle seat of the packraft features a front-to-back adjustment, providing flexible space for carrying cargo or accommodating kids/pets.

The rear seat has been moved slightly forward compared to the Barracuda R2, balancing the weight distribution with the extended packraft length. There’s also additional usable space behind the rear seat.

Fin Whale holds a design patent.

Weight and Material

*Advised Paddler's Weight:

This refers to the maximum recommended weight for a single paddler. Since the paddler’s weight is more concentrated, it could cause the packraft’s hull to deform under stress. When approaching this weight limit, increasing air pressure can help alleviate the strain, but the material’s load will also increase. The suggested weight is generally lower than the packraft’s total recommended capacity.

**Advised Capacity:

This value represents the recommended total load the packraft can carry, including the paddler and gear. However, this doesn’t mean the packraft will sink once this limit is exceeded. In fact, it still has significant buoyancy. That said, exceeding this limit may affect the packraft’s maneuverability, stability, material load, and water resistance.

Tips for Comfort

• To enhance comfort, the seat cushion’s air pressure can be adjusted to reduce inflation, which will allow it to better fit the body and also lower the seat’s height, providing better support for the backrest.
• Inflation Recommendations: It’s recommended to inflate the packraft to a pressure of 2.5-3 psi (adjusting based on weather conditions and water temperature changes).
