Rated for Class I through Class IV+ rapids, this boat delivers the closest experience to a traditional hard-sided whitewater kayak at just a quarter of the weight. Inspired by an infamous 2017 Kokopelli raft, the 2024 Rodeo is engineered with Kokopelli's Advanced Whitewater Design (AWD) - a 5-panel construction that increases waterline for fast straight-line speed and quick edge-to-edge transitions. Ultralight 210D Kevlar-reinforced TPU sidewalls and an 840D Kevlar TPU floor provide industry-leading puncture, abrasion, and tear resistance that can take on the rowdiest rivers. The included TiZip waterproof zipper adds convenient access and a sealed cockpit for tackling aggressive features with confidence.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\n  Built over 12-plus years of manufacturing expertise, the Rodeo features an Advanced Whitewater Rocker Profile (AWRP) with an aggressive bow designed for boofing bigger hits and surfing steeper faces, while the increased stern surface area helps clear retentive features. Weighing in at just 12.6 lbs fully kitted, it packs down to a 30-liter roll for backcountry missions where no rigid boat could go.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Whitewater Design (AWD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-panel construction with increased waterline for fast straight-line speed and rapid edge-to-edge transitions - true kayak-like handling in a packraft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Whitewater Rocker Profile (AWRP):\u003c\/strong\u003e Aggressive bow rocker for boofing bigger drops and surfing steep wave faces while the increased stern surface area clears retentive hydraulic features.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e210D Kevlar TPU Sidewalls:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultralight, space-age sidewall construction using DuPont Kevlar-reinforced TPU for superior puncture, abrasion, and tear resistance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e840D Kevlar TPU Floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Industry-leading heavy-duty floor material with Kevlar-Aramid-Nylon blend - the toughest floor available in any packraft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTiZip Waterproof Zipper (21 in \/ 53 cm):\u003c\/strong\u003e Premium waterproof zipper with 1-year warranty provides a sealed cockpit entry and convenient on-water access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical I-Beam Inflatable Floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid-hull floor design delivers smooth primary-to-secondary stability transition, letting you carve waves and eddies aggressively.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17 Venturi Drain Holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strategically placed drain holes protect the pontoon from stick punctures, reduce water intake when moving forward, and increase speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-Side Leafield D7 Valves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repositioned valves allow easy on-the-go inflation adjustments without disrupting your paddle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 D-Rings (Mil-Spec Webbing):\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 bow, 6 mid-point, 4 stern, and 2 internal D-rings for rigging, lashing gear, and thigh-strap attachment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWhitewater Rating - Class IV+:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and tested for the most demanding whitewater environments, from pool-drop creeks to continuous big water.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight - 12.6 lb (5.7 kg) \/ Packed Size - 25 x 8 in (30L):\u003c\/strong\u003e Ultralight and compact enough for remote backcountry packrafting missions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Lifetime Warranty (Boat):\u003c\/strong\u003e Kokopelli backs the Rodeo with a lifetime manufacturer warranty on the boat itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShips free!

Trusted by creek boaters, expedition paddlers, and adventure athletes looking to access remote runs no rigid boat can reach, the Rodeo delivers kayak-like responsiveness with a roll-up pack weight under 13 pounds. The DuPont Kevlar-reinforced materials are built to outlast seasons of hard use on rock-studded rivers, while the lifetime manufacturer warranty on the boat gives you the confidence to push your limits without worrying about your gear. Whether you're surfing a signature wave, threading a boulder garden, or charging a remote first descent, the Rodeo's AWD hull and AWRP rocker profile give you the tools to find new lines and ride harder. For paddlers ready to take their whitewater game to the next level - and go places no one else can - the Rodeo is the only packraft built for the mission.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSeries\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWhitewater Series\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eType\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSelf-Bailing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWater Rating\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClass I - IV+\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial (Sidewall)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210D TPU + DuPont Kevlar Aramid-Nylon\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial (Floor)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e840D TPU + DuPont Kevlar Aramid-Nylon Blend\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValve (Pontoon)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeafield D7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePSI (Pontoon)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.75 - 1.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eValve (Seat)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLeafield D7\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePSI (Seat)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1.0\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eChambers\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2 (Main Pontoon + Inflatable Floor)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (Boat + Key Accessories)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12.6 lb (5.7 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePacked Size (Rolled)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 8 in (63.5 x 20 cm); 30 Liters\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight Capacity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e300 lb (136 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOuter Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e96 in (245 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOuter Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e37 in (94 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInner Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e47 in (119 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eInner Width\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.5 in (27 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eTiZip Zipper Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e21 in (53 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eD-Ring Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMil-Spec Webbing - 1 in (2.5 cm)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eD-Ring Count\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e16 Total (4 Bow + 6 Mid-Point + 4 Stern + 2 Internal)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eThigh-Strap Compatible\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes (accessory sold separately)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVenturi Drain Holes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty (Boat)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eManufacturer Lifetime\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWarranty (TiZip Zipper)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1 Year\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the Rodeo suitable for beginner packrafters?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Rodeo is designed for experienced whitewater paddlers comfortable with Class III+ to IV+ rapids. Its curved AWD hull trades some initial stability for high performance and responsiveness. If you're new to whitewater packrafting, Kokopelli recommends starting with the Nirvana or Recon series, which feature more stable pontoon-style hulls ideal for Class I to III-IV water. Once you've developed your river skills, the Rodeo will reward you with a level of performance no other packraft can match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWhat is the TiZip zipper and why does it matter?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe TiZip is a premium waterproof zipper used in demanding outdoor gear applications. On the Rodeo, it provides a sealed cockpit entry that keeps water out during aggressive moves like surfing, boofing, and rolling. It also makes getting in and out of the boat much more convenient than traditional tube-entry packrafts. The TiZip version includes a dedicated zipper lubricant to maintain the seal and extend its life. It carries a 1-year manufacturer warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eCan the Rodeo be rolled like a whitewater kayak?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - the Rodeo is designed with the hull geometry and TiZip sealed cockpit that make rolling possible, and verified paddlers have successfully rolled it on the water. The AWD hull with defined chines and rocker profile gives it the edge-to-edge response needed to execute a roll. It requires skill and practice, but for experienced whitewater kayakers transitioning to packrafting, the Rodeo is the closest packraft to making that possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eAre thigh straps included?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThigh straps are NOT included with the Rodeo. The boat is fully thigh-strap compatible with a three-point stainless steel D-ring attachment system, but the Pro 3-Point Thigh-Strap Set must be purchased separately.
