Alpackaraft Valkyrie-V3 Solorun through the Lammer Öfen
I tested the new Alpackaraft Valkyrie V3 on a fast lap through the Lammeröfen. The water level was 17m3/sec or 63cm, which is about mid-water and makes the section a class 4 whitewater.

Alpackaraft Valkyrie Version 3 (2024) first impressions & Test ride
Просмотров 2,1 тыс.4 месяца назад
I was in the States for a short visit to the headquarters of Alpackaraft in Mancos and tested the new Valkyrie Version 3 together with Dustin and Jeffrey Creamer from Alpackaraft. And what can I say? It's an incredible boat. It has significantly increased in performance compared to the previous V2 model and has become even more agile and offers even more stability when edging. You have to paddl...

Alpacka Raft Inflation Valve Fix
Просмотров 1,4 тыс.2 года назад
The Alpacka Raft Inflation (Temper Assit) Valve is NOT designed to hold pressure, you must use the valve cap (with o-ring) to hold the pressure in your packraft. Always store your packraft with the valve in the closed position (anti-clockwise) to reduce the chances of the valve forming memory in the open position. This video demonstrates how to reset the memory of the plastic valve to reduce th...

Packraft Europe & River Conservation
Просмотров 1,8 тыс.4 года назад
A packraft is an amazing piece of gear that makes it easier for us to reconnect with ourselves and the natural world. When we go packrafting we discover places untouched by humans, rivers that still flow wild and free, we realize too few still exist, and too many are under threat. We aim to inspire people to protect the remaining rivers and river landscapes that are still in a natural and relat...
Im 193.5 cm and 82kg, do you think the large valkyrie will be big enough for me?
Hey, you're just above Alpackaraft's recommendation, but I think the Valykrie in L should still be suitable for you. Just try it out somewhere and test ride it.
@@packrafteurope-officialalp8538 Thanks, is there anywhere in Europe that I can test ride it? Would love to do that
@edcunningham5562 Hey, yes as mentioned in the outro the best place to test the Valkyrie is the Iselriverstore.com right on the Isel near Ainet in Austria. iselriverstore.com/ or you visit our webpage and go to "partners/rentals" in the footer. Best regards.
I saw a few tipping over but none came up. Can you roll these things?
Yes of course you can. These ones which you saw aren't the best paddlers.
Die machen schon eine gute Figur. Würde ich schon gern mal testen. Grüße ronactive
Sehr schönes Packraft. Schade, dass relativ teuer ist. Grüße ronactive
I wish they would make an XL! There are some of us taller than 6’3”!
Very cool, boat looks great. But you keep cutting the scene before we see whether they roll or not
They didn't roll up, but good paddlers can easily manage that.

Hi Seon, looking forward to paddle the new Valkyrie at the meet up, in June. See you there. Cheers Stephan
Curious if you’ve played around with weight in the boat for whitewater, specifically when you don’t have overnight/backpacking gear. I found it runs best with ~7kg total spread out in the tubes/lap bag. I was wondering (if you do add weight) what you use? I’ve been using wet towels in my dry bags haha.
Hey Andrew, no I've paddled it completely empty. No extra weight. But yes, if you add some kilos it's more stable. Cheers Seon
Gruselig 🙈🙈🙈
Nice run.
😆 next time with you again.
Awesome send!
Seon thank you for the helpful videos you've made on the Valkyrie, much appreciated. 1) How would you describe the performance of the Valkyrie on flatwater rivers and lakes, and on coastal seas? I'm coming from a sea kayaking background, and my first use case is paddling it on coastal sea water within and around cities; second is calm rivers and lakes; third is whitewater to class II and III). 2) If you were to buy 2 different packrafts for more flexibility for my use cases, which two models would you suggest? (I know someone that uses one of the Alpacka tandem packrafts solo for paddling coastal waters for the longer length and better tracking).
🤙 thank you and sorry for the late reply. First of all, it is important to understand that the focus of Alpackaraft is on whitewater and that packrafts generally have major disadvantages on open water with a lot of wind or current. To your questions: 1. Even though the Valkyrie is probably the fastest packraft on flat water, it is not necessarily suitable for that. Of course you could use it for that, but its strengths are definitely in difficult whitewater and so it is rather oversized for your simple tours. WW-2+3 Trips would be perfect for the Valkyrie. 2. Difficult question. If I had to choose a boat, it would be the Expedition or the new Tango for 2 people. The Tango is the fastest packraft, but I wouldn't recommend paddling alone. Maybe even the Explorer 42 could be a simple option. It's a 1,5 Person boat. 😅 When I would buy two Packrafts, for sure my first choise would be the Valkyrie and then maybe a light boat like the Caribou for Bikerafting trips. Cheers
My v3 pre-order was just delivered today!
Super. 🤩 Have fun with your brand new Valkyrie.

Great video! I’d love to see a video on loading gear in this setup for an expedition. Love the channel - keep up the great work!
Yeah,👍 Thanks man. Good idea for the following video. Will keep in mind.

Nice video Seon!
Thanks for the info, I'll just add it to the list of information Alpacka Raft seems to not tell their customers.
Okay so can Alpacka and Immersion Research team up to make a spray skirt that fits the Valkyrie? I can't see myself buying a packraft for whitewater with such flimsy skirts (my buddy got one that fell apart after 2.5 trips). Please make this happen!
This is amazing!!! I just recently saw the documentary “wild waters” at the BANFF film festival starring Nouria Newman!!!! I even thought to myself “she really needs a packraft” when I saw her lugging that hard shell around. Wow! Great to see she found one!!
2650€ 🤡
Thanks good to know
Paddling a kayak-like looking packraft with kayaking techniques may come easy for a pro-kayaker :)
Great images and had to laugh when Nouria talked about a "a fun ride" paddling Koritnica and Soca (ww 3-4+). It has been a nearly 2 years wait since the first Valkyries have been spotted, and Thor mentioned in a podcas, that they would only release a limited number of them and for 2022 most are already reserved for longtime costumers and friends (?). Anyway they are already selling Chinese knock-offs from a German Packrafting reseller. But since many of us want the original, is there any chance to at least rent one until next winter?
Also based in Austria:-)
This seems a reasonable bridge upward from my Gnarwhal, which I'd never think to roll. Beautiful video and engaging interview. I'm going to work in the pool on my roll and hopefully deserve an upgrade to this Valkyrie in the coming months/years. Thank you for this engaging interview and the beautiful shots on the river!
How heavy is it compared to the other models
Schaut auf jeden Fall sehr interessant aus. Schöne Grüße ronactive
Looks like a fun design. Would love to try one.
I love the idea of the internal wall/ baffle in the stern to give the bottom some actual shape you can edge instead of a huge flat suction-cup surface.
Looking forward to the new boat! Might have to put one in the quiver with all my hard boats! Is there a different schedule for release in North America? Link is only for Europe?
Genial!!!
Thanks again for this absolutely awesome day with Nouria and the Alpacka Valkyrie. It was incredibly fun to capture on camera what Nouria Newman can do in combination with Alpacka's best packraft. Thanks for this opportunity and see you soon on the river again. 😎👌🔥 Cheers Tom.
