Gumotex Swing 1

More Details

The Swing 1 has been designed as the perfect boat for longer journeys in different weather conditions where the protection of a closed deck kayak is preferable to keep the paddler and their kit dryer than an open kayak. Made from ‘Nitrilon’ the Swing weighs only 11kg and can be easily packed down into a dry rucksack. The single layer skin ensures that the Swing is quicker to dry out than the traditional bladder style construction as well as being lighter. The decks are reinforced with rigid braces and have zipped sections in both the bow and stern for easy gear access. There are also bungee straps on bow and stern for further storage. Heavy duty handles complete the deck layout.

The cockpit comes with adjustable footrest and a PU foam backed seat for all day comfort and control. The Swing can cope with gently moving water up to grade 2 but is just as happy on calmer inshore coastal stretches, estuaries and rivers. The Swing 1 is for paddlers who want a ‘proper’ kayak but need the flexibility of an inflatable – perhaps due to storage/ transport issues or to take abroad, on a bus or train or just those that appreciate a boat that’s easy to carry down to the water, the Swing 1 is a truly go anywhere kayak!
