With its next generation Rally Hull design, ergonomic seating, and Alpacka patented 4-point thigh straps, the Gnarwhal is the most stable and forgiving whitewater packraft from Alpacka Raft. Ideal for building skills and confidence, carrying heavy loads, and charging hard on high volume whitewater runs.
Powerful or playful, addictive or intimidating, enlightening or terrifying, clean or chaotic. Whitewater can be the ultimate in contradictions, but the Gnarwhal will be there when you need it most so you can get to the bottom of the run with more laughing and less swimming.
Advanced paddlers get the most from the Gnarwhal by setting up early and paddling hard, making it ideal for high volume rivers and messy features that require speed, power, and stability to clean. Novice and intermediate paddlers will get the most from the Gnarwhal’s unmatched stability and forgiveness, which makes rapids fun so that you can focus on developing your technique and building confidence without worrying about getting flipped every time you make a mistake.
The Gnarwhal is built with Alpacka's Rally Hull, high-performance whitewater rigging, Cargo Fly zipper internal storage system, and either a Whitewater Deck or Self Bailing configuration. The Rally Hull is Alpacka's highest performance whitewater hull with a center panel stern for stability and forgiveness and a rockered bow for punching over holes and carving eddy turns.
The Gnarwhal is higher volume than the Wolverine to maximize stability, forgiveness, and weight capacity. The whitewater rigging includes an adjustable foam backband, ¾ length seat and foot brace and patented 4-point thigh straps.
The '23 model Gnarwhal has an improvement to the Backband / Thigh Strap attachment points, and the thigh straps are now mostly RF welded instead of the traditional method of stitching. The result is a lighter and more durable overall system for the backband and thigh straps.
