Here's another way of setting up the Play 8 for whitewater use (from http://www.dcmix.net/gonflable/photos1.htm).
***UPDATE 2***
No more footstrap and a new larger back band!

Airis play8 modifications and features:
4 Aire grey "D"rings installed for foot and thigh straps.
New bag attached on the stern + water bottle holder.
The skeg was cut for whitewater use.
This (playboat) inflatable kayak only weights 15 pounds and measures 8' x 33".
It has a flat bottom, and a drain hole,
a little rocker on the stern and can be inflated up to 6.5 psi!
(almost as rigid as a plastic kayak)
***UPDATE***
The yellow D-rings and footstrap were replaced after the first esquimo roll!
Also added a back band!
