I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Why We Like The Puma Raft

Despite the fact that the Aire Puma Raft and its felid namesake don't even remotely share the same species, the two share one major trait: they're both ambush predators who swiftly tackle their objective. In keeping with a puma's predatory instincts, the Puma Raft prefers difficult-to-maneuver terrain thanks to a short and stiff design to maintain unimpeded levels of maneuverability.

Contrary to a puma's solitary behavior, the Puma Raft is best used when operated by a team of two to four people.
