Reach for the AIRE Jaguarundi when you need a stable combination of performance and gear-hauling. It’s big enough to pack a load and its moderately kicked-up tubes help it slide easily over the water. Load it up with gear for extended trips or push its performance limits on rough water day trips. This big, agile cat can handle it all.
*Frame sold separately.

What makes the AIRE Jaguarundi special?

• Short Waterline: At 109.5” the Jaguarundi’s waterline is similar to a waterline you’d see on a 15’ boat, keeping it agile on the water.
• Moderate Tube Design: The Jaguarundi’s profile is nicely curved, giving it both performance and stability.
• Continuous Curve: We’ve eliminated all seams on the bottom of the Jaguarundi. There are two motives behind this choice. First, the bottom seams equal wear points. Second, the smoother we make the bottom of our boats, the more easily they slide through the water.

• Continuous Curve: AIRE Leopard tubes slide through the water with ease, as they have no seams to catch on the water. This design also reduces unnecessary wear points caused by raised seams.
• Performance Kick: 29” kick on either end of the Leopard’s tubes help it deal with big waves and drops.
