Gumotex Twist 1

A lightweight inflatable makes an ideal first kayak.

The Gumotex Twist 1 is a single person inflatable kayak, and could be the perfect solution for paddlers who may struggle to carry, transport and store full sized plastic canoes and kayaks. With a maximum recommended carrying capacity of 100kgs, this kayak is better suited towards small to medium sized paddlers. The Twist 1 weighs in at a mere 9kg and packs down into the small fabric storage bag (supplied), yet still incorporates all the features which make Gumotex boats so highly sought-after. Tough and hard wearing, easy to clean and quick drying. For those wanting a heavier-duty, waterpoof transport bag with rucksack style straps, Gumotex produce an 80ltr Transport Bag (supplied separately).

The Gumotex Twist 1 has been manufactured from Nitrilon material which has great abrasion resistance and proves highly durable to provide many years of happy paddling. A raised seat (removable) keeps the paddler lifted off the floor of the kayak, and unlike most inflatables, the Twist also includes an in-situ, adjustable footrest to help provide the paddler with an upright and comfortable sitting position.

This is a great inflatable kayak for touring on calm inland waters and sheltered coastlines, providing stability and ease of control- features that beginners or less experienced paddlers look for in their first kayak. There is also on the underside of the hull, Gumotex have fitted a removable fin to aid tracking. The Twist 1 once packed down will fit into most car boots, caravan and motorhome lockers and also easily stored at home. Perfect to have along with you, and to make the most of any paddling opportunities and nice weather breaks.
