The iTrek 9 Ultralight uses diagonal drop-stitch construction inflated to 10 PSI, paired with the MirageDrive GT with Kick-Up Fins and rudder control. With a 20 lb fitted hull, it packs into a roller and backpack bag for apartments, RVs, boats or air travel. Remove the drive and it can also be used as a stand-up platform.
