By Abigail Scott
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 Love the Nirvana-SB Packraft
The Kokopelli Nirvana-SB Packraft offers an incredible combination of features for tackling whitewater conditions. With its narrow trim and aggressive rocker, it excels in maneuverability. What sets it apart is its self-bailing design, eliminating the need for a spraydeck. This makes entry and exit easier, allows for quick water drainage, and provides an elevated sitting position for efficient paddling.
The Nirvana-SB also incorporates upgraded materials, including a 210D nylon inflatable flooring and seat with increased seating thickness. It also features Kokopelli's innovative Thigh-Strap System, enhancing handling in rapids with the optional 3-Point Thigh Strap Kit (sold separately).
Key Features:
- Lightweight and Durable: Constructed with nylon ripstop material that offers both lightweight performance and durability.
- Self-Bailing Design: Equipped with drain holes that ensure easy water drainage during your river adventures.
- Elevated Paddle Position: The inflatable seat provides an elevated position, allowing for a deeper stroke and improved paddling performance.
- Optional Tizip Zipper: Add extra internal storage for longer trips with the optional Tizip zipper.
- Superb Whitewater Performance: The narrow trim and increased rocker of the Nirvana-SB maximize its performance in demanding whitewater conditions.
- Enhanced Handling: Boost your control and stability with the optional thigh-strap kit setup (not included).
- Comfortable Support: The built-in backband ensures that your back remains supported during your extended days on the water.
