In this episode of the Gear Shed, Trevor is doing a comparison video on 3 popular play boats. Play boats in rafting are rafts that are less than 12 feet in length designed to surf and play on features. These boats are often super light weight and can be very flippy. The narrow width and high rocker of these boats makes them somewhat unstable, but also a blast to paddle. This video will be comparing the Hyside Mini Max, Aire Cub, And 11 foot SOTAR SL. You can find out more about each boat at the links below, but if you're going to spend 3200 to 5000 dollars on a raft make sure you know what you are getting into.
