I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Like The Recon Inflatable Kayak

The Recon Inflatable Kayak is impressively durable, crafted with Kokopelli's toughest materials. Designed with the same shape as the renowned Nirvana series packrafts, it offers exceptional maneuverability and fluid handling in even the most challenging waters. What sets it apart is its heavy-duty PVC construction, providing unparalleled protection against rough encounters with rocks and other obstacles.

With its self-bailing design, the Recon Inflatable Kayak eliminates the need for a spraydeck, ensuring easy water drainage during whitewater runs. Additionally, it features convenient thigh-strap attachment points, allowing for the addition of the 3-Point Thigh Strap Kit (sold separately) to enhance responsiveness and control when navigating rapids.
