These boats are full of versatility. Created in the early 90's as a larger paddleboat for our eastern commercial outfitter market, the Tempest Series' popularity has flowed into the extended trip western style of river running. Paddle the Tempest with four thwarts or drop the thwarts and load a cargo frame for a Main Salmon trip.

 

The Tempest is often seen on the Middle Fork in a gear in back, oar station in the middle and paddlers up front configuration. The Tempest 2 with four thwarts is also popular in big water paddle applications on the New and Gauley Rivers in West Virginia, or big water in Maine.

 

The Tempests feature Maravia's TOUGH Class VI base fabric and the best URETHANE coating on the market - over 40 times the abrasion resistance of PVC and over 15 times the abrasion resistance of Hypalon.  Check for availability in Royal Blue, Light Blue, Yellow, Red, Orange, Emerald, Purple, and Teal..  A two color option may also available for $599.  Thwart number options are also available and may change the price of the boat.  Maravia's now have a 10 year unlimited warranty!
