The Blunt Roller | 8ft Micro-Play Raft

Business up Front, Blunt in the Back and built to roll through anything.

The Blunt Roller is a purpose-built 8-foot whitewater weapon designed for pure river play, micro-creeking, and technical R1/R2 runs. By pairing an asymmetrical hull—slightly wider in the stern than the bow—with 18" diminishing tubes and massive rocker, this boat gives you the speed and pivot responsiveness of a cataraft with the stability and security of a round raft.

Why The Blunt Roller Shreds

• Cat-Style Hydrodynamics: An extremely high-riding floor combined with high bow and stern rocker lifts the front, back, and floor completely out of the water line. Only the main side tubes touch the water, eliminating floor-drag so you can spin on a dime, surf sticky holes, and hold speed across eddy lines like a cataraft.

• Asymmetrical "Wedge" Hull: The stern is intentionally built wider than the bow. This extra rear volume prevents tail-squatting, boosts primary stability when leaning hard into turns, and gives the tapered bow a laser-focused profile for punching straight through hydraulic walls.

• 18" Diminishing Tubes: Sleek 18-inch tubes lower your center of gravity and slice through wind, keeping the boat hyper-agile without sacrificing tube volume where you need it most.

• Laced-In Inflatable Floor: Laced in with heavy-duty cordage and Stainless Steel eyelets, the high-floor design drains water instantaneously through the perimeter lace line while allowing easy field repairs.

• Removable Thwart & Custom Rigging: Includes 1 removable thwart so you can solo (R1), tandem paddle (R2), or pull the thwart completely to drop in a lightweight micro-oar frame.

• Signature Waterproof Stash Pocket: Built directly into the interior layout so your multi-tool, keys, or river essentials stay dry, secure, and right at your fingertips.

• 100% Thermo-Welded .9mm PVC: Zero glued main seams to fail in the scorching summer heat. Fused seams mean maximum abrasion resistance against sharp granite and high air-pressure retention.
