PRODUCT INFORMATION

IRF R4-Ready and River-Tested

The 12’ SOTAR Liquid SL is crafted to meet International Rafting Federation R4 specifications, making it a premier choice for paddlers who need competitive-grade performance from their whitewater raft. It excels as a paddle raft for 3–5 or a rowboat for 1–3, offering flexible use for technical rapids, steep creeks, and extended excursions.

Precision Craftsmanship with Practical Comfort

Like all SL rafts, the 12-footer features a long waterline and small pivot point that boost tracking and agility. The 21” to 16” diminishing tubes allow extra legroom and gear space while preserving a compact footprint. Whether you're pushing through standing waves or maneuvering tight corners, you'll experience the balance of speed, comfort, and responsiveness.

The Do-It-All Raft for Serious Adventurers

Ideal for competitive paddlers, outfitters, or anyone seeking a top-tier inflatable whitewater raft, the 12’ Liquid SL is built for performance and reliability. Lightweight yet robust, it transitions seamlessly between paddle mode and rowing setups, making it one of the most versatile rafting boats for rivers with varying conditions and group sizes.
