Urban Skiff for Sailing Through the City

urban-skiff

Carry this pig around in the truck of your car and you’ll be able to make it home when the Taurus breaks down—you live on the coast, right? The Urban Skiff folds up like a body bag and then relies on a carbonite (real word?) skeleton and inflatable baffles to stay together. It’s a little tough to carry in a conventional backpack so you’ll need to bring  a mule or Segway to get it into the backcountry.
