Gumotex Rush 1

Drop Stitch Inflatable Kayaks

The Gumotex Rush 1 has all the features of a top touring kayak, it just so happens that the Rush 1 is an inflatable kayak. Made from strong and durable Nitrilon the single layer hyperlon hull of the Gumotex Rush has been designed with complex panels to give a hydrodynamic shape to the bow and stern, something not seen in many inflatable kayaks. The Rush 1 is one of the inflatables in the Gumotex range that boasts a dropstitch floor which gives added performance and rigidity as it can be pumped up to 7-8psi.

Moving above the waterline, the Gumotex Rush 1 has an optional fully removable deck which can accept a nylon spraydeck for complete weather protection. There are also 2 aluminium bracing struts which further enhance an already stiff hull and keep the deck taught. On deck are bungees and a cargo net for plenty of storage and of course room for drybags below decks.

Of course there are some days when a deck on the Gumotex Rush 1 is not needed, perhaps when it's very hot or you are paddling on the sea and would prefer ease of re-entry - no problem, as the deck is easily removable.

The seat and footrest of the Gumotex Rush 1 are also dropstitch for comfort and security when paddling rougher water. There are fittings for an optional rudder. The new Rush 1 from Gumotex is a versatile, fast and capable touring kayak that can cope with grade 2 whitewater and also fits in the boot of your car or even on the bus!
