Wave De stroyer Ne w !
AIRE pro-staffers logged numerous miles during the spring and summer of 2006 on the North Fork of the Payette
perfecting new cataraft designs with experienced boaters in mind. With the assistance of expert catarafter Mark
Cramer, the AIRE boat design team created the new Wave Destroyer specifically for taking on steep and technical
Class V whitewater. Radically kicked tubes were designed to resurface quickly and climb easily over big waves and
nasty hydraulics. The combination of extreme bow and stern rise with great hull speed has created a boat that will
perform the most critical maneuvers. Finishing off this phenomenal boat, AIRE uses its unparalleled AIREcell system,
a new, more comfortable rubberized handle and the industry leading 10-year no fault warranty.
The Wave Destroyer is available by special order only.

Jaguarundi Ne w de s i g n !
The new era of the Jaguarundi has begun. The Jaguarundi’s speed, tracking and maneuverability have
improved by increasing the bow and stern rise. In addition to the better performance, the durability is
also improved with the addition of frame chafe strips to better handle the loading and unloading of
tables, cooler, dry boxes and other riverside campsite necessities. Also new are handles so comfortable
you will WANT to carry the boat to and from the river. The Jaguarundi remains the premier choice for
multi-day wilderness river trips.

‘R’ Serie s Ne w de s ig n !
The popular ‘R’ Series rafts have been improved for 2007. The straight sections of these
boats now feature a 43-ounce frame chafe strip for greater durability. ‘R’ stands for ‘round’,
meaning a traditional round boat design. With their broader beams, larger tube diameters
and longer waterlines, these are the most stable of all AIRE rafts. The ‘R’ Series rafts are
ideally suited for families with children and epic three-week trips in the Grand Canyon.
