Born from over 7 years of relentless testing and redesign, the 2025 Rodeo raises the bar for whitewater packraft performance in every measurable way. Built from ultra-tough, abrasion-resistant 1000D reinforced PVC - the same burly material used in full-size commercial whitewater rafts - it holds higher PSI, resists abrasion, and is made to take a serious beating on technical water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt the heart of the Rodeo is Kokopelli's Advanced Whitewater Design (AWD): a 5-panel construction with increased waterline for straight-line speed and quick edge-to-edge transitions, plus an Advanced Whitewater Rocker Profile (AWRP) with an aggressive bow that lets you boof bigger hits and surf steeper faces. The stern's increased surface area clears retentive features, while the vertical I-Beam inflatable floor delivers a smooth primary-to-secondary stability transition so you can carve waves and eddies with confidence. This is the closest you can get to a traditional hard-sided whitewater kayak - at half the weight, and packable enough to carry on your back to the put-in.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClass I-V Water Rating:\u003c\/strong\u003e Designed and rated for the most demanding whitewater conditions on the planet.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e1000D Reinforced PVC Construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e Same burly material used in full-size commercial whitewater rafts - stiff, abrasion-resistant, and built to outlast the river.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Whitewater Design (AWD):\u003c\/strong\u003e 5-panel construction increases waterline for fast straight-line speed and rapid edge-to-edge transitions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdvanced Whitewater Rocker Profile (AWRP):\u003c\/strong\u003e Aggressive bow design lets you boof big drops and surf steep faces while staying dry at the stern.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVertical I-Beam Inflatable Floor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hybrid-hull design delivers smooth primary-to-secondary stability transitions for aggressive carving on waves and eddies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e17 Venturi Drain Holes:\u003c\/strong\u003e Strategically placed to protect the pontoon from stick punctures, reduce water intake when moving forward, and increase speed.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThigh-Strap Attachment Points:\u003c\/strong\u003e Three-point adjustable ladder lock D-ring system for enhanced fit, adjustability, and control (thigh straps sold separately).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTop-Side Leafield D7 Valves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Repositioned for easier on-the-go inflation adjustments mid-trip.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e20.2 lb Packed Weight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Impressively light for a PVC whitewater boat - packs down to just 39 x 11 inches (60 liters).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOptional TiZip Storage Zipper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Adds 100+ liters of internal gear storage inside the air chamber for multi-day expeditions.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Lifetime Warranty:\u003c\/strong\u003e Backed by Kokopelli's lifetime warranty on the boat itself.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTiZip Options \u0026amp; Which to Choose\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNo TiZip:\u003c\/strong\u003e The standard Rodeo Self-Bailing PVC without a storage zipper.

More than 7 years of field testing, redesign, and feedback from elite whitewater paddlers has gone into every seam, panel, and valve placement on this boat. Trusted by serious whitewater enthusiasts across the country, the Rodeo performs like a hard-shell kayak but packs into a backpack - opening up remote rivers and multi-day expeditions that simply aren't accessible with traditional watercraft. The 1000D PVC construction means you're not babying this boat through technical rapids; you're sending it. With a manufacturer lifetime warranty and a track record of standing up to Class V punishment, the Rodeo is a long-term investment in your time on the water. Whether you're boofing waterfalls, carving river waves, or loading up for a five-day wilderness trip with the TiZip zipper, the Rodeo delivers the ride of your life - every single time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\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 - V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial (Sidewall)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000D Reinforced PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial (Hull)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1000D Reinforced PVC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial (Seat \u0026amp; Floor)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e210D Ripstop Nylon\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\u003e1-3\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\u003e20.2 lb (9.4 kg)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003ePacked Size (Rolled)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e39 x 11 in (99 x 28 cm); 60 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\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\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eIs the Rodeo a good packraft for beginners?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eThe Rodeo is Kokopelli's most performance-oriented packraft and is designed for experienced whitewater paddlers.

If you're new to whitewater packrafting, Kokopelli recommends starting with the Nirvana or Recon series, which feature a more stable pontoon-style hull and are ideal for Class I to Class III-IV rapids.

The standard model without TiZip is better suited for day trips and paddlers who want a simpler, lighter setup focused purely on whitewater performance.
