Recon Inflatable Kayak

Recon Self-Bailing Inflatable Kayak – Whitewater Series

Built for demanding river conditions, the Recon Self-Bailing Inflatable Kayak is engineered from commercial-grade 1000D reinforced PVC for exceptional durability and performance. Designed for paddlers who want confidence in unpredictable whitewater, this kayak features a self-bailing system that automatically drains water through integrated floor drain holes, keeping you lighter, drier, and in control.

Unlike traditional TPU packrafts, the Recon’s PVC construction allows for higher inflation pressures, minimizing flex and helping maintain speed and momentum when navigating larger river features. The self-bailing design reduces setup complexity, improves ease of scouting technical sections, and enables faster self-rescue compared to spray-decked alternatives.

Weighing under 18 lbs with key accessories, the Recon is ideal for road-to-river whitewater runs, after-work laps, and extended multi-day raft trips. Rated for Class I–IV whitewater, it balances portability with the strength and rigidity needed for serious river use. Commercial-grade Leafield D7 valves ensure reliable inflation and deflation, while the integrated inflatable floor and seat provide stability and comfort in dynamic conditions.
