The Kayak-Style Packraft
Mini Shark is MRS' latest kayak-style whitewater packraft.
- Mini Shark has a more streamlined hull and a slightly upturned bow, which help it pass through the waves and improves the agility of the packraft in white water.
- The tube is smaller than other models, which makes it easier to get back in the raft after capsized. At the same time, the low-center-of-gravity seat makes it easy for the paddler to keep balance in white water, offsetting the negative impact of the small tube on stability.
- The deck features a zipper for partial opening, providing access to a rear storage compartment.
- Suitable for both white water and flat water.

Air Pressure:
The hull is made of 420D TPU coated nylon and needs to be inflated to 3 psi air pressure. Higher air pressure will ensure the hull has sufficient rigidity in white water to improve control.
Sunlight and temperature can significantly affect the hull pressure when inflating your packraft. If the water is very cold, inflate it a bit more to maintain proper hull pressure. Once inflated, ensure the hull stays in contact with water. If you're storing the packraft on land, keep it out of direct sunlight for extended periods.
