    2x Koaro T zip long tail, spray skirts, knee straps and extra loops for a full rigging rope around the top sides to attach gear which is very handy for fishing

    And an older Alpaca short tail with spray skirt
    Smaller and lighter and easier to use if just doing a short crossing
    But lower hull speed and doesn't track as straight

    You need the T zip storage if you want to multi day trip and hunt
    Keeps the center of gravity low
    It's hard to run white water with a pack in your vision because you are sitting at water level

    NEVER ENTER A RAPID THAT YOU CAN'T SEE INTO
    SOME HAVE A LIP SO STEEP YOU CAN'T SEE OVER IT UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE.
