Tandem Inflatable Kayak with Drop Stitch Hull
The Gumotex Thaya provides the best of both Gumotex’s iconic durable Nitrilon material and Dropstich technology to create a stable, stiff and manoeuvrable tandem inflatable kayak.
The Dropstich technology consists of thousands of polyester fibres connecting the upper and lower layers of the fabric. This creates a stiff and solid base which when combined with Nitrilon material enables the base to be inflated to a very high pressure. This then enables the material to obtain a simpler robustness to solid materials.
Designed to be paddled as a tandem, solo or even as a family with a small child making this boat an incredibly versatile, durable and lightweight kayak to enjoy on sheltered waterways.
