156E

The AIRE 156E is a rising star in our lineup of rafts. Wherever this boat goes, it goes with a reputation for taking on steep rivers. The elliptical design makes for quick maneuvers when picking your line down a technical rapid. The 156E is good for R6-R9 paddle teams and is a fun gear raft when outfitted with a frame.

• Narrow Feel: The 156E feels considerably narrower than other boats.
• Unique Bow Design: The bow on 156E rafts is pointed, and sheds water better than round rafts. It also comes up at a steep angle, giving this raft an advantage when navigating drops and deep holes.
• Straight Side Tubes: The 156E tracks straight due to its shape, including its straight side tubes.
• Guide Friendly Stern: If anybody needs a good platform, it’s the guide. If they can’t get into position, everyone is in trouble. The squared-off shape and low rise on the 156E make it a joy to guide.
