The Corsica Regional Natural Park is one of the partners of ARWC 2026. Its support is invaluable in designing the best course possible at the heart of the Island of Beauty.
By the numbers :
Jaws, the technical benchmark in high-end packrafts, based in Isère at the foot of the Chartreuse massif, is an official partner of the ARWC.
In the pipeline: an ideal model for Corsican rivers, the Raid350.
“We are committed to meeting the requirements set out by Pascal Bahuaud and his team
Eric Colcombet, President of Jaws
in order to deliver the best possible packraft, and we are working hand in hand
to develop an exceptional model.
Built with a new TPU membrane offering outstanding abrasion resistance while remaining extremely lightweight, the Raid350 is a true concentrate of innovation:
designed specifically for Corsican rivers, it provides precise, technical and
engaging handling, while fully respecting the natural environment that means
so much to us.”
