Sheri

Sheri Tingey defied the odds and expectations of those around her by starting a company at age 50 that revolutionized the outdoor industry and changed the way paddle sports in the backcountry are viewed around the world. 'Sheri' is an incredible story about Sheri's life, the hurdles she overcame to launch her company, and the brilliance and commitment she brings to her projects every day. It is the story of her son, Thor Tingey, who built the company alongside his mother, but has only recently begun to fully grasp her level of dedication and what she has created not just for him, but for adventurers around the world who use packrafts to access remote and wild waterways. Sheri’s story will both warm and inspire audiences as they learn about how one woman's lifelong passion for design and innovation culminates in her most impressive design feat to date.

Sustainability Notes:

Alpacka Raft is committed to reducing our environmental impact now and for future generations to come. We make all of our packrafts in Mancos, CO, and source American made raw materials wherever possible, to cut down on transportation and to support American manufactures—all helping to decrease our carbon footprint as a company and for our customers. Additionally, we are working to eliminate landfill waste by recycling leftover fabric scraps for use in one-of-a-kind scrap packrafts, scrap tote bags, and scrap wallets. Not only are we offering an alternative solution to plastic bags, but we are recycling materials that would otherwise be thrown into landfills. A win for all.
