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?

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?
