![]() The inflatable seat makes for extended time on the water very possible. It also features adjustable backrest straps so you can really dial in your comfort.īelow the inflated seat is an inflated floorboard. This boat is called the High Rider for a reason. I’m not exactly a little guy, and am very used to a wet, uncomfortable day of float tubing, but this boat has changed that. Sitting on top of what in reality are two extra flotation points, you are just higher above the water. ![]() In my recent test down in Newport Beach, my butt was barely wet. ![]() I’m a wader guy, so not too worried about the water, but I’m usually sitting below the water line all day. Inflatable floor board and seat make for a high, dry rideĪnother really cool feature of the inflatable seat are the dual easy access rod holders attached to the back of the seat. These are not a rigid type holder, but a soft holder made of the same material as the seat. I found them east to access, and east to get my rods in and out of. No need to bring along a milk crate with PVC tubes sticking out. Unless you want to bring more than say three rods. Behind the seat, in the bow, there is also ample room for a storage box, cooler, or tackle bag. Once you have your High Rider all inflated, seat installed and ready to go, you can attach the detachable storage bags. The tube comes with a pair of nice and deep, zipper topped storage bags. These have a strap and hook on each side that hook to the various attachment points on the tube. The bottom of the bags have Velcro that hold the bags in place once on the tube. I found that there was plenty of storage within these bags for a few bait boxes as well as my dry box that I keep my phone, wallet, keys, etc. Now that the High Rider is set up, we need to get it to the water. These boats are well built, sturdy, but not the lightest boat on the market. I am happy to sacrifice some weight for the security that a well built boat brings. Heck, I’m not in a race to get anywhere out there. There is a nice handle strap right under the bow, as well as a set of adjustable backpack style carry straps attached to the bottom of the boat.
