Their experience as discoverers of uncharted territory and novel boat designs contributes to Orange Torpedo distinctive identity. They pride themselves on continuing to be a little different from the crowd, which is how they got to where they are now. Jerry Bentley, an entrepreneur and adventurer, founded Orange Torpedo on the Rogue River in the late 1960s. Jerry noticed some tiny inflatable kayaks and the opportunity they presented for making priceless riverside memories. He was persuaded that going on a few exploring runs with his family would be a good idea. In 1969, Jerry was on his way after spending a year trying to convince Seyvlor (the boat manufacturer) that it was a good idea. Jerry worked with the first guides in the early years to hone their guiding techniques and increase visitor safety in the inflatable kayaks. These were exciting times because inflatable kayaking was a new activity at the time, and rafting as they know it today was still a sport that many people thought was unsafe.
