Biography

 

Developed in collaboration with the World Rafting Federation, now United Rafting, the Aquadesign Competition Race Raft is designed for clubs, training centres and teams preparing for international competition.

Its lightweight construction and competition geometry allow crews to train with equipment developed around international racing requirements. Tube volume, rocker, reinforced self-bailing floor and thwart positioning combine the Federation’s specifications with Aquadesign’s manufacturing expertise.

Designed for sports preparation.

The raft offers responsive handling, acceleration and stability for technical courses. Removable thwarts with 15 adjustment positions, integrated footcups and a long, flat frame allow crews to adapt their positioning for sprint and slalom training.

Intended use

This model is intended exclusively for training and sports preparation. Its lightweight construction is optimised for performance and is not designed for commercial rafting operations, rental or intensive use by the general public.
