Durable. Trustworthy. Adventure-Tested.
The Kokopelli Recon Self-Bailing With TiZip Red Rock is built for paddlers who demand maximum durability and performance. Its self-bailing system automatically drains water through an inflatable floor and drain holes, keeping you above the rapids and focused on the adventure.
The Recon is perfect for after-work laps, multi-day trips, or road-to-river runs. Unlike TPU packrafts, the Recon inflates to higher pressure, ensuring less flex and more momentum when punching through big features. Add the optional TiZip zipper for secure, waterproof gear storage on extended expeditions.
Whether you’re scouting challenging runs or charging technical rapids, the Recon delivers rugged dependability with every stroke.

Frequently Asked Questions:
Who is this packraft for?
Paddlers who want a tough, simple, self‑bailing boat for daily laps and road‑to‑river runs up to Class IV.
How does the self‑bailing work?
Water that splashes in during paddling drains out through the floor, so you stay light and responsive without stopping to bail.
What basic maintenance keeps it fresh?
Rinse after gritty or saltwater days, dry fully, and store out of direct sun.
Can I bring a small dry bag inside with TiZip?
Yes, the TiZip version lets you stow gear inside the tubes for cleaner deck space.
How should I dry it after a session?
Open it up, wipe down seams, and let air circulate—sun and a light breeze speed things up.
