Product detailed description
Gumotex Seashine is the result of innovative design and technical improvements that enhance its performance and user comfort. The kayak is slightly less curved than its predecessor, the Seawave, which, combined with its 470 cm length, ensures higher speed and better glide on calm water. The pronounced rocker (longitudinal bend) allows the kayak to easily negotiate waves without submerging the bow, which is crucial for navigating rough seas.
The bottom of the kayak has a unique design; the front of the kayak is a "V" shape (about 250 cm from the bow to the back) that flattens towards the stern. This design provides excellent directional hold while providing stability due to the flat bottom.
The large interior space allows variable seating arrangements for one, two or three boaters. In the two-seater version, the seats are placed far enough apart to allow long paddles and high amplitude shots without interfering with each other. In the three-seat version, moving the front and rear seats can create enough space for three average height paddlers to paddle effectively.
Starting in 2021, Gumotex kayaks (including Seashine) feature improved decks with stronger and wider cockpit collar reinforcements. This makes them compatible with most "Key-Hole" or "Big-decks" cover aprons, allowing safe trips to the open sea even in more challenging conditions.
