Everyone has dreams about personal flights where you soar on outstretched arms, your mind as tranquil and free as a bird on wing. It’s the desire for freedom that inspires such fantasies, and that very emotion is what draws us to boating in the first place.

But lack of H2O won’t stop the wild new Slider, which can transition from the deep riverbank to terra firma without missing a beat.

Bumper Boat
: Trailer boats article, October 2000

Fashioned from nylon-reinforced PVC with neoprene segments, the skirt is technically described as a “full-loop, constant-pressure cellular multi-finger” design.

The pressurized loop also acts as a bumper cushion should the Slider bump into something it can’t float over.
