Thanks for posting and details, FG and koch. I am excited for more details on the ultralight assault, very impressive at 8#. Is the construction material the same as in the escape and his other tubeless boats? Or is it 420 denier nylon or PVC bottom coated?
The closest thing until now has been the ultralight waterstrider, but it weighs 15#, too heavy for my use...

ok here is what i got when i wemnt in. there are apparently 3 models. the Assault, the Assault XX, and the soon to be released Ultrlite Assualt. the ultralite weighs 8lbs and fits into a day pack, its awesome i picked it up with one hand. the Assualt XX (if you look on northforkoutdoors.com) can come in either a 1 or 2 person model depending on what you want. the ultralite is only a 1 person, looks just like the regualr Assault, but is deep purple in color and the material it is built with even feels different but still tough[/quote]
