ZRAY DRIFT 37641 TWO-SEAT INFLATABLE KAYAK, 426 x 81 cm

The Zray Drift is the 100% high pressure model of the Zray brand, which also makes it the model with the highest performance in the range: stiffness, stability, fluid glide: this boat has many qualities that make it a particularly remarkable kayak.
This boat uses Dropstitch technology to stiffen the bottom and sides of the kayak. In this way we obtain a profiled boat, without lateral flanges that would limit the glide, and of an impressive rigidity. Thus, the boat deforms less than traditional inflatable kayaks under the effect of the swell or simply under the effect of the weight of the people on board, which makes it reactive to the orders transmitted to it, but also makes it very versatile and efficient.
Construction of the Zray Drift Inflatable Kayak:
Just as Dropstitch technology has allowed SUP inflatable boards to compete in terms of performance with rigid paddle boards, the use of Dropstitch technology also allows a boat like the Zray Drift to offer an impressive level of performance, while remaining easy to store and transport once the boat has deflated.
Dropstitch technology consists of connecting the two walls (made of reinforced PVC) that make up the edges and bottom of the boat, by thousands of polyester threads. Inflated under high pressure – 8 Psi on the ground and on the sides, these filaments stretch and provide increased rigidity to the kayak. Moreover, it is what gives each wall its shape once it is pressurized. Without these wires, the edges and bottom of the boat would be shaped like a strand instead of being of constant thickness.
Finally, the function of these wires is not only to shape the board, but also to distribute the load imposed by the weight of the kayaker(s). Each wire taken separately could not withstand the load imposed by a person’s weight but, working together thanks to the internal pressure of the board, they perform their function without problem and allow the kayak to support the weight of one or more people.
