Hype Features & Innovations
The Hype is the ultimate travel companion for the serious paddler. It packs down to just 28” x 12” x 6”—roughly 6% of its inflated size. At 30 lbs, you can carry it as a backpack to remote put-ins, check it as luggage on a flight, or keep it in the trunk of your car for whenever the water looks right.
Creeker Profile
The voluminous bow provides massive buoyancy for punching through waves, while the flat stern allows for aggressive carving and surfing.
Integrated Spray Deck
The waterproof deck and integrated coaming keep you dry and comfortable in the wildest conditions.
Total Body Control
Become one with the boat. The Hype features an enlarged interior width at the knees and fully adjustable thigh straps, footrests, and hip pads. It's so responsive that even performing a kayak roll is smooth and intuitive.
Vulcanized for a Lifetime
This isn't a packraft. It’s built with 1100 dtex EPDM rubber. It handles rock contact with ease, maintains a rock-solid 4.3 psi rigidity, and is 100% PVC-free.
