 The first time I used my Water Strider we ran
some serious Class III rapids on the Dean River
in British Columbia without a hitch while
carrying 120 pounds of camping and $10,000 worth
of camera gear.
Dave and I also ran some
serious Grade 3 and 4 rapids on the Rangitikei
River in New Zealand.
Running rapids in a Water
Strider is the most fun you can have with your
waders on!

Water Strider™ designs and manufactures the
highest quality expedition grade one man or
woman rafts available on the planet. If you like
to run rivers, if you like to float and fly
fish, if you want to pack in to your secret
lake, if you like to duck hunt, you don't have
to use heavy, cumbersome, difficult to maneuver
rafts or drift boats when you want to go float
fishing, hunting or rafting for fun. You can do
it yourself whenever you want to enjoy floating
your favorite river or lake. When you're ready
to fly fish, hunt or just enjoy a fun river
float, a Water Strider raft is ready to go
whenever you are.
What the heck is a Kickboat?
 Water
Strider's open floor design let's you sit on the
air ride seat to propel and steer the Water
Strider raft with fins on your feet while you
keep both hands free for casting and landing
fish.
In shallow water you can stand up and wade while
the Water strider floats around you. There's no
better way to fish! Makes a good hunting boat,
too. Click here to see hunting ideas.

A Montana Moment by J.

Dear Water Strider,
This August for fifth time we took a float
plane in to the Togiak wilderness in Alaska.
This is a 2 million acre wilderness whose
great rivers flow into the Berring sea in
Bristol Bay. The three of us take your boats
, bear fence and everything we need for 10
days of fishing and floating one the great
rivers there. Many of these rivers have
headwater sections with river depths of only
a few inches and even when loaded to the
max, the worst we have to do is stand up inside
the boat and walk a few feet and then sit
down again. Being able to just stand up in
the boat and stop and fish makes prospecting
for holes efficient and about as easy as it
can be.
We have modified our boats a little for long
expeditions and extra heavy loads with a few
extra rings and two rear handles so we can
lift the heavily loaded sterns out of the
fast water without having to drag them but
otherwise they are just stock boats.
After probably 500 miles and 50 days in the
wilderness they look brand new and nothing
comes close to their performance and their
tremendous load carrying capacity for a one
man boat. We love being able to bring
our
boats up near our tents...carrying them with
a couple of fingers instead of two men.
There just isn't better one man expedition
boat made. In between I have been using mine
on the Big Horn, the Green River and the
Snake and carrying this light weight marvel
long distances into isolated trout lakes in
the Boundary Waters Wilderness in Minnesota.
These boats are simply the best you can buy
for expeditions on Alaska rivers and its
also one boat that will do it all as well as
any other boat made.
