Gumotex Rush 1


The Gumotex Rush is one of Gumotex's highest performance kayaks with a dropstitch floor giving the kayak a huge amount of rigidity.


Made in the Czech republic, Gumotex have a repuation of hard wearing and long lasting kayaks which they back up with a two year warranty. Created from Nitrilon, a synthetic rubber and a natural altex mix, the Gumotex kayak range have a similar construction to RIBs commonly used by divers and the emergency services.


Rigid enough to stand on if necessary, the underside of the Gumotex Rush 1 is made from dropstitch with a reinforced keel and tracking fin meaning that although the underside is flatter, the tracking is improved and the straightline ability is better than other inflatables of a similar length.
