Built for Whitewater. Designed for Adventure.
Take on technical rivers, challenging rapids and tight waterways with the AIRE Hot Potato Inflatable Kayak. Built as a beefed-up evolution of the popular Tributary SPUD, this compact whitewater kayak combines stability, durability and responsive handling for paddlers who want more control in demanding conditions.
Its compact design makes the Hot Potato particularly well suited to technical creeks, river waves, play parks and narrow passages, where quick maneuvering can make all the difference. The stable hull helps keep you secure while navigating rough water, while the self-bailing floor quickly drains water from the kayak.
The Hot Potato is also built for serious use. Its airtight urethane AIREcell bladders are enclosed within a tough PVC outer skin to provide abrasion protection and durability. Multiple cargo loops allow you to secure essential gear, while bow and stern handles make carrying the kayak to and from the water easier.
Whether you’re running whitewater, surfing river waves or exploring technical creeks, the AIRE Hot Potato delivers the compact performance and durability needed for demanding paddling adventures.
