STAR Slice XL Paddle Catarafts

The STAR Slice XL Paddle Cataraft delivers the same high-octane whitewater performance as the original Slice but with greater stability and carrying capacity. With extra length and larger tubes, the Slice XL gives you the ability to carry up to four paddlers and tackle big whitewater with confidence. The self-bailing PVC floor is raised 6" so only the side tubes touch the water, creating a fast, stable and highly maneuverable whitewater machine. A high-pressure 3" drop-stitch deck attaches to the self-bailing floor to create a solid, stable and stiff platform for 2-4 paddlers. Self-draining zippered compartments in the bow and stern keep gear and supplies organized and out of the way. STAR rafts and catarafts are built with advanced-formula PVC material using state-of-the-art seam welding technology, resulting in superior abrasion resistance, longevity and air retention. Top-quality Leafield C7 valves in the tubes and Leafield D7 valves in the floor and center thwart ensure trouble free inflation and deflation. Five separate air chambers ensure you'll stay afloat in the event of a puncture. Includes two handles and ten 1.5" stainless steel D-rings for strapping down gear, running grab lines, or rigging a small rowing frame. High-pressure hand pump required to fully inflate the drop-stitch floor. Includes repair kit. 5-year retail warranty, 3-year commercial. Length: 12' 8" Width:  70" Weight: 79 lbs.
