    Jason, a great fun video. Thank you. I just got my Gnarwhal today and all I did was, I watched your video. After that in only 20 minutes my raft was all ready. I love the Alpacka quality. Have fun. Merry Christmas.

      Thanks Brett. It's a pretty fun boat especially when compared to the older versions.

    Well done im looking to get a gnarwhale for backpacking with the mountain bike

    • @Jason-Eson

      Not sure that I'd recommend the gnarwhale for bike packing. The boat is a bit heavier with whitewater features. I'd maybe look more at the classic.

    Do you guys ever use a hand pump instead of the bag?

    • @Jason-Eson

      High volume low pressure for these boats. Use a pump for my robfinn boats that need a higher pressure.

    Hi Jason - Would you recommend the Alpaca raft over the Kokopelli raft? I'm looking at the lake models for fishing, not whitewater.

    • @Jason-Eson
      @Jason-Eson  5 років тому

      Greg, I really only know about these boats from a whitewater perspective. If you are just cruising flat water I think you could save some money and go Kokopelli. A couple people around here paddle their self bailer boat and it seems pretty okay.

    Hey! What made you get the Gnarwhal over the Wolverine? I’m having a tough time deciding

    • @Jason-Eson
      @Jason-Eson  5 років тому

      I got it before the wolverine came out so it was an easy choice. Get the wolverine if your already a decent paddler and your under 5 ft 6. Otherwise go gnarwhal or classic.

    how much punishment can these boats take? How easy are they to puncture?
