Discover the freedom of the open water with the top-of-the-line Gumotex SEASHINE Inflatable Kayak.
For 70 years, Gumotex have 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; they're 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 Kayak 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.
SEASHINE is the best Gumotex kayak with unique progressive hull for better tracking and stability. It is designed and adapted for navigation on the seas, paddling long distances on lakes on estuaries or large rivers. It provides plenty of space for one, two or three paddlers and their baggage for multi-day trips. It can be equipped with a single or double cockpit and steering rudder.
Features
☑ NITRILON®
Material composition: high-strength PES fabric (1) with an outer synthetic rubber coating (2) and inner natural rubber blend coating (3). The material is highly resistant to abrasion, aging and UV light. Tensile strength min.3 000/3 000 N (sample 8 × 2 in). Minimum weight 27.13 oz/yd².
☑ TRACKING FIN HELPS TO
STEER COURSE
The tracking fin makes it much easier to control the kayaks. Ensuring the boat tracks well and maintains good directional stability.
Featured on THAYA, RUSH, TWIST, SWING, SOLAR, FRAMURA, SEAWAVE, SEASHINE, SAFARI 330 and HALIBUT kayaks
☑ A curved hull
The general line of the hull is tighter than with its predecessor Seawave, which combined with SEASHINE´s length, giving a greater feeling of speed than with its predecessor Seawave.
Very pronounced rocker is one of the key points that determine the Seashine’s ability to climb waves WITHOUT submersion.
☑ A progressive Dropstitch bottom
The Seashine’s hull line is modified by the fact that the bottom-Dropstitch forms a “V”: this increases the height of the boat only under a hull section of around 250 cm, slightly off-center towards the front. The effect of this particular shape is direct, the boat turns a little less easily than the Seawave model, and the boat doesn´t skid at all!
☑ Predestination for waves
Combination of the dropstitch bottom and inflatable sidetubes 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.
☑ Enough space for paddling
The Seashine’s vast interior space is designed for high-performance paddling in terms of speed and glide, OR to offer modularity for 1 to 3 paddlers.
In two-seater version for performance: The two crew members are far apart, enabling them not only to use long Sea-kayak or Marathon paddles, but also to paddle with high amplitude propulsion, all without getting in each other’s way: no possible clashes between their blades.
In the three-seater version for 3 active adult paddlers: by positioning the rear seat flush with the hood, and the front seat at its maximum forward attachment point – its backrest is in this case still 1.70 m from the bow – we have created a free space of over 190 cm measured between the two inflatable backrests. That should let enough space for 3 medium-sized adult paddlers to use a Seashine with efficient propulsion.
☑ Watertightness
Since 2021, the coamings of all Gumotex deck kayak models have been modified with major improvements in rigidity and efficiency: coaming edges are now horizontal and 4 cm wide on average, and the PVC stiffening tube is reinforced. These coamings also allow the use of most “Key-Hole / Big-decks” type neoprene skirts, guaranteeing optimal watertightness. This unique feature on the inflatable kayak market simply will enables the Seashine paddlers (with the right technical level!) to undertake ocean cruises beyond the 300-meter mark (D-245 Regulation in France limiting the inflatable kayaks or boards “beach gear”).
