I wouldn't try, because no matter how solid the material is, it could still get punctured. My main concern would be punctures and the cockpit rim not holding the skirt on well, since if there was any air loss, it would slip, as well as the material bends a lot easier than plastic. These are just my impressions, so if you know anything that would contradict my thoughts, please post. Also, it has an aluminum frame which might possible break on an impact, poking a hole through one of the chambers.

I think it would be possible to boof an inflatable if you get the speed and line up right. Not sure how high I would try it from I have a small inflatable and I'll try it this summer and see what happens. Greg

On the Grabner Site there are pics of guys boofing.
BTW tha site claims it as a surf boat rather than a creeker, I guess they inted this boat a s a
kind of River runner.

About the punction risk, probably it is mitigated by the fact it have several air chambre, more or less like a raft.

I really like to try it.

Finally the price :ohmy:
1800 Euro !?
