AIRE Thwart Handle for Inflatable Kayaks & Rafts

AIRE Thwart Handle – Stay Secure in Whitewater

When the big water hits, grabbing your Thwart Handle might be your last chance to stay in the boat.

The AIRE Thwart Handle anchors you and your crew in rough water. Designed to wrap securely around a wide range of thwart diameters, it offers a reliable grip point to help prevent ejections in turbulent rapids.

The rigid molded handle is easy to locate and grab when your focus is downstream. And if you do end up in the water, it doubles as a sturdy handhold to assist with re-entry from the river. A practical upgrade for safety and stability in any paddle raft setup.
