Our unique hull design blends the stability and efficiency of a catamaran with the maneuverability of a traditional paddleboard to give you greater control, and confidence, on the water. But we didn't stop there. The SKF117 is designed to be highly customizable, with tons of opportunities to rig your vessel just the way you want it. The SKF117 is also Bonafide Sidekick compatible.

This one-of-a-kind vessel easily converts into a floating platform, making it the perfect companion for a lazy day taking in the sights or paddling with family and friends.
