Nobody gets you on the water better!
SOTAR has been a HUGE supporter of USARC since the very beginning. SOTAR is a family run, custom whitewater inflatable boat manufacturer based in Merlin, Oregon. Every boat is built by hand and made one at a time. Glenn Lewman co-founder of SOTAR built this company on big dreams. Like a lot of small companies, he started in a garage in 1980 and SOTAR is still flourishing 40 years later.
SOTAR’s specialty is giving white water sports lovers a boat that is custom designed to personal specifications. Jeremiah Lewman, son of Glenn, stepped up as COO beginning in 2017. Jeremiah’s engineering knowledge of polymer science coupled with SOTAR’s exclusively developed Urethane/Rezcoat, heavy duty, UV and abrasion resistant fabric which allows for welded seams, enables innovation in design!
Jeremiah is dedicated to state of the art improvements and quality to push SOTAR into the future.
