Gumotex Swing 2

The Gumotex Swing 2 is a tandem inflatable kayak with a non-removable deck for extra weather protection and increased hull rigidity. With its generous length and width the Swing 2 is stable, roomy and ideal for rivers and lakes.

The Swing 2 is an enclosed cockpit tandem kayak from Gumotex. Made from tough Nitrilon fabric, it's strong and light giving it a huge advantage over inflatables which rely on inner bladder air systems. This hyperlon based fabric doesn't soak up water and beads off the droplets, meaning the kayak dries quickly after use and can be folded into a more compact package for easier transportation and storage.

The Swing 2 includes a fixed deck which is supported by aluminium braces. This gives the kayak a great deal of rigidity which adds a more efficient paddle stroke, with additional protection from the elements.  The plastic cockpit rings can also take the optional Gumotex Zipped Sprayskirt for complete weather protection which extends the paddling into wet and colder seasons.  We would suggest that as the kayak is slightly harder to get into after a capsize than the open variety, it is better suited to inland water such as lakes and rivers where there is easy access to bankside safety.

The Swing 2 has two zipped 'hatches' for easy gear stowage and comes with a drawstring bag for storage. There are very few inflatable tandem kayaks with a deck but the advantage is marked in terms of weight saving and easy storage when set against a traditional plastic version. The Swing 2 comes highly recommended, especially for those who find a traditional tandem Sit In just too large to manage.
