The Valkyrie is the kayaker’s packraft—the pinnacle of whitewater performance in an inflatable package. It features modern creekboat style and rocker with a planing hull for secondary stability and edge control.

Product Description

The hype is real. The Valkryie V3 is not just our highest performance whitewater packraft, its the biggest leap in performance that we’ve ever made. It features our lowest profile tubes, modern creek boat shaping, generous bow and stern rocker, and a spacious and comfortable cockpit. The patented floor sits below the bottom of the tubes to create secondary stability when the boat is put on edge. Like a kayak, this allows the paddler to hold the Valkyrie on edge for crossing eddylines, boofing off drops, and cutting through features. The bow and stern rocker keep the boat high and dry and make it incredibly easy to boof over and skip out of holes and steep drops. And the speed is, well, you have to paddle it to believe it.

If you are a kayaker who is packraft curious or tired of lugging nine feet of plastic on your shoulder into the backcountry, the Valkyrie V3 is your packraft. It is also a great boat for the experienced packrafter looking to step up their whitewater game or anyone who wants to develop kayak skills in a forgiving and easy to store and travel package.

Note: High pressure is key on the Valkyrie V3. Topping it off with the Pack-A-Pump will be imperative for performance.

Weight Capacity

The Valkyrie is designed for performance at the expense of cargo capacity. The Valkyrie is ideal for paddlers up to 220lbs. Larger paddlers should consider the Mage or Gnarwhal. Cargo weight recommendations are 20-30lbs for maximum whitewater performance and a maximum of 50lbs for moderate whitewater. Consider the Mage for extra capacity.

Sizing & Specifications

*The Valkyrie is designed for a true to size fit with enough knee bend to engage the thigh straps, but keep your legs more extended for better downriver performance. Paddlers over 6’3″ or under 5’4″ may have trouble getting a good fit. Similarly, paddlers over 220lbs may find that the overall volume of the boat is too low to carry multi-day gear. The large size is optimized for a 6’0″ paddler and the medium is optimized for a 5’8″ paddler. Paddlers in the 5’9″-5’10” range should be able to size up or down depending on whether they prefer a tighter/looser fit or a shorter/longer boat.

*Due to the handmade nature of our packrafts and natural variances in weights between different colors and production runs in our fabrics, all weights and dimensions are averages and will vary from boat to boat. Weight includes the seating and rigging, but not the inflation bag, stuff sack, and repair kit.

**All boats have a width to fit most paddlers. If you have extra wide hips please reach out to customer service to ask questions before purchasing.
