Hi Matt,
Great site and you have me excited in only the way a beginner can be 🙂 I’m ready to place an order but wanted to iron a couple of things out.
Where I live (Newfoundland) where I will do the most of my paddling the shores and streams are filled with pretty sharp rocks. I anticipate mostly class 1-2 with a rare class 3 if I decide it’s…[Read more]

Hi there,
Received the kit and additional materials this morning, everything is in good shape.
Thanks Matt a lot for the great product.
I have to modify my soldering iron first before doing some practice on heat sealing of the tpu.
Hope everything works out fine.
Good day! -

Aaarrrrrgghhh!
Remember that bad luck I mentioned in the last post? Well, I have just been informed by the supplier that Customs thought the fabric shipment looked fishy because the cost listed on the invoice […]

On the good side, the fabric has arrived.. And we will wait in patience… 😉
Maybe you should have under-valued the fabrics… Then the Customs guys wouldn’t have been suspicious 😉 -
Could be – they do spin a good yarn!

Hi Edward – great job on the packraft, and thanks for posting the photos! Lake Taupo looks just as crystal clear as I remember it – what a great place to paddle!
Please keep us posted on your cruiser deck, as it looks like you’re on the right track 🙂

Took my DIY packraft out for its first outing on Lake Taupo (New Zealand) last week.
I used 210 denier fabric from extemtextil for the tubes and the black 650g/sqm fabric for the floor (TPU coated both sides…seems to work OK, just put baking paper underneath the area you are heat sealing). I agree with all other comments I’ve seen on the…[Read more]

Great, thanks for the feedback… Maybe a soldering Iron with a DIY tip and a regulator is the way to go then. I see extremetextile.de are operating with weldling temperatures on their garments. Strange if your producer don’t have any statements about this?

Matt (Admin) replied to the topic Whitewater Capabilities in the forum DIY Packrafts 8 years, 8 months ago
Hi Josh – I would definitely choose the seat, as it raises you up into a more comfortable paddling position. Without a seat, you have to lift your arms up quite high, which feels a bit awkward and would be tiring after a while. You could bring something else to sit on, like maybe a folded up camping mattress, but there’s a good chance it would get…[Read more]

Matt, if you were only going to choose one option would you make an inflatable floor or an inflatable seat?
