The Zodiac Heavy Duty (HD)

Large and voluminous but can still pack down into bags

This is a unique range of larger inflatables that is designed primarily to carry heavy loads at planing speeds due to its patented Futura hull shape. HD uses heavy materials and is reinforced throughout making it suitable for extreme service. Even at sizes up to 7m, they can still be rolled up into a bag and thrown into the back of a pickup truck or aircraft.
