    I love the idea of the internal wall/ baffle in the stern to give the bottom some actual shape you can edge instead of a huge flat suction-cup surface.

    Thanks again for this absolutely awesome day with Nouria and the Alpacka Valkyrie. It was incredibly fun to capture on camera what Nouria Newman can do in combination with Alpacka's best packraft. Thanks for this opportunity and see you soon on the river again. 😎👌🔥 Cheers Tom.

    Paddling a kayak-like looking packraft with kayaking techniques may come easy for a pro-kayaker :)

    This seems a reasonable bridge upward from my Gnarwhal, which I'd never think to roll. Beautiful video and engaging interview. I'm going to work in the pool on my roll and hopefully deserve an upgrade to this Valkyrie in the coming months/years. Thank you for this engaging interview and the beautiful shots on the river!

    Okay so can Alpacka and Immersion Research team up to make a spray skirt that fits the Valkyrie? I can't see myself buying a packraft for whitewater with such flimsy skirts (my buddy got one that fell apart after 2.5 trips). Please make this happen!

    Great images and had to laugh when Nouria talked about a "a fun ride" paddling Koritnica and Soca (ww 3-4+).
    It has been a nearly 2 years wait since the first Valkyries have been spotted, and Thor mentioned in a podcas, that they would only release a limited number of them and for 2022 most are already reserved for longtime costumers and friends (?).
    Anyway they are already selling Chinese knock-offs from a German Packrafting reseller.
    But since many of us want the original, is there any chance to at least rent one until next winter?

    This is amazing!!! I just recently saw the documentary “wild waters” at the BANFF film festival starring Nouria Newman!!!! I even thought to myself “she really needs a packraft” when I saw her lugging that hard shell around. Wow! Great to see she found one!!

    Looking forward to the new boat! Might have to put one in the quiver with all my hard boats! Is there a different schedule for release in North America? Link is only for Europe?
