Packraft Update of the Century!!!
One of the downsides of packrafts is that they don't have the storage capacity of a typical touring kayak. That's not always a huge deal, but as you can see in the (2nd) picture below with my bike and pack piled on the front, things can get a little cumbersome. The mad scientists at Alpacka Raft have come up with a really cool solution.
Basically, they have a new airtight and waterproof zip system ("Cargo Fly") that allows stashing items inside the raft tube. Decluttering things above deck will be massively helpful in addition to lowering center of gravity and improving performance.
The whitewater deck they released last year was brilliant, but this represents an even bigger leap in packrafting potential... particularly for longer adventures.
