Minimalist Packraft
Ponto and Tulo are simplified versions of the Microraft (without a spraydeck). Ponto is the larger of the two, designed for generous buoyancy and internal storage space. Tulo is the smaller model, built to be as light and portable as possible.

- Measurements may vary slightly with temperature and material differences. This is normal.
Internal Storage Bag (ISS Models)
Available on Ponto ISS models only.
Instructions for Use
1. Distribute weight evenly between the two storage bags. Because the bags cannot be accessed until the packraft is deflated, only store items that you will not need on the water.
2. Place your gear in the storage bag, fold the top closed, tighten as much as possible, and then insert the buckle at the top opening.
3. Open the TIZIP zipper and slide the storage bag into the packraft tube.
4. Once the storage bag is inside the tube, unfasten the top buckle, pass the strap through the two tie-downs, and re-fasten the buckle.
Tie-down fixings inside the tubes secure the storage bags in place, so they will not slide back and forth as the packraft moves.
Connector Overview
Ponto only.
Backrest Connector
Choose either the RSB2 or the Inflatable Backrest — Ponto ships with one, not both.
RSB2
Inflatable Backrest
Adjustable footrest Connector
Adjustable footrest
Water-filled footrest
Function:
Water held inside the footrest adds weight to the bow, reducing yaw and pitching while paddling. Because it produces less drag than a bow-mounted skeg, it delivers smoother and more efficient forward motion.
Water-filling procedure:
1. Submerge the footrest to scoop water inside. If the water level is low, use a paddle to help.
2. Use the markings inside the footrest to gauge the desired water volume.
3. Fold and seal the open end of the footrest.
4. Lay the footrest flat with the base of the hose slightly raised.
Open the hose valve to release air. When the water in the transparent hose rises above roughly one-third of its height, close the valve.
5. Fold the end over again and secure it tightly.
6. Place the footrest at the very front of the hull and press it firmly into position. It serves as both ballast and a foot support.
Important Notes:
Fold the tail end of the footrest at least four times to ensure a proper seal.
Release as much air as possible through the upper hose. Trapped air will let the water slosh, which can significantly reduce stability.
Excess air also increases the risk of ballast water leaking out.
