Navigate any waterway easily in this lightweight, rugged Gumotex RUSH 2 Inflatable Kayak.
Gumotex RUSH 2 13′9″ is a performance double kayak, suitable for
recreation on lakes, cruising along the seashore, and navigating rivers up to WW2.
The RUSH is the first model in a new Gumotex series of hybrid kayaks with a Drop-stitch bottom and narrow inflatable keel integrated into the Drop-stitch panel.
For 70 years, Gumotex has been perfecting the art of crafting inflatable kayaks that are as gentle on nature as they are on paddlers. Their kayaks are not just a product, but a legacy of innovation and dedication to preserving the environment. Handcrafted with precision from natural rubber, each kayak is a testament to their commitment to sustainability. Gumotex Inflatable Kayaks are designed to be lightweight, making them easy to pack and carry, whether you're heading out for a weekend adventure or an extended expedition.

☑ SOLID BOTTOM USING DROP-STITCH TECHNOLOGY
The bottom of the boat is reinforced by thousands of fibers connecting its inner walls. Thanks to this feature the boat is very stable and difficult to capsize.
☑ A curved hull
A carved hull enables RUSH to climb waves. Along with other Gumotex models designed for the sea (Seawave, Seashine), Rush is one of a few inflatable kayaks to feature a pronounced, unyielding longitudinal line. This is the key element in the shape of its hull: it enables the Rush-2 to climb waves and/or swell, WITHOUT bumping into them and passing through them, but instead following the wave’s ascending or descending line with fluidity without losing the speed generated by the paddler(s).
This longitudinal line is determined by the assembly angle between the Dropstitch bottom and the bow and stern panels. This hand-connected angle imposes a constraint that maintains the longitudinal curve of the bottom.
☑ Predestination for waves
A combination of the drop-stitch bottom and inflatable side tubes is essential not only for paddling with waves across but also for making safe landings on beaches in the event of rollers or shore-breaks.
☑ Water tightness
Coaming edges are horizontal and 4 cm wide on average, and the PVC stiffening tube is reinforced. These coamings also allow the use of most “Big-Decks” type neoprene skirts, guaranteeing optimal watertightness. This is a unique feature of the inflatable kayak market.
