Made from drop-stitch material, Bullet Pads inflate to about 2.5 inches thick Continue reading …

Coming in 2012: The Bullet Inflatable Kadillac, Pink Seat Included

The Bullet IK: Coming in 2012

The Bullet IK: Coming in 2012

Bullet has evolved through the years always with the aim of producing a better boat.  A typical design cycle involves:  1.) finalizing a design 2.) building prototypes to the design spec 3.) testing the design and 4.) incorporating testing feedback into the next version.  Bullet innovations like the CPS thwart-attachment system, handle and d-ring placement, fatter diminished-tube geometry, and a streamlined made-to-order system are little steps in search of making a better boat custom-suited to paddlers.

Bullet Twins on South Fork American

Bullet Watercraft Rafts on the South Fork American River

Bullet Watercraft Rafts on the South Fork American River

Just a quick photo to share of two of our ultra-wide and stable, Bullet 12s.  The Bullet 12 is the widest commercially available 12′ boat on the market.  This makes it great for family-fun stability, steep creekin’ (see some of our Bullet 12 trip reports), and commercial outfitters looking to run heavy loads in smaller boats.  This photo came in from a couple fine lookin’ boaters on California’s South Fork American River.  The email that had this photo attached was titled “We Love our Bullets!”.  Keep the photos and emails coming!  To see Bullet boaters lovin’ life on the water just makes our day :)
