Packrafting originated from multi-sport enthusiasts and because of this most packrafts provide a variety of functionality.  But some packrafts are more versatile than others and and with a few added attachments they can become even more useful.  Enter the Sporty 'Bou!  At its base it is the Alpcaka Caribou with cargo fly and removable whitewater spray deck.  This is already one of Alpacka's most versatile rafts (in our opinion) because of the load capacity to weight ratio, the cargo fly, and the ability to remove the spray deck on hot summer days or stay dry and warm during the shoulder seasons with deck and skirt on.  In addition, we've made a few "Sporty" modifications to make it a little more whitewater capable  and offer more places to strap gear if your adventure involves multiple modes of transportation (skiing or biking).   It also has most of the same qualities the Mule has in terms of cargo capacity and is an excellent option for hunting smaller big game (deer, sheep, etc.) .See them listed below and check them out in the photos!

Add-ons:

  • 2 extra strap plates (one on each side near hips) to offer more tie-off points for long gear  
  • 2 point thigh straps that make this a more capable whitewater option along with easier portages
  • Whitewater foot brace to push off of or shorten the raft for paddlers that aren't as tall

Also includes:

  • 2 internal dry bags (roll top)
  • Standard (light weight) spray skirt
  • Pex pole for cockpit
  • Stuff sack
  • Patch kit
  • Lube kit
