Detailed product description
Model: Inflatable Kayak Thaya by Gumotex
Description: The Gumotex Thaya is a revolutionary inflatable kayak that uses a unique combination of NITRILON® material and modern Dropstitch technology. This combination gives the kayak excellent stability, stiffness and maneuverability, bringing its handling characteristics closer to those of a fixed kayak. Thanks to this innovative technology, the Thaya is able to achieve high operating pressure, ensuring strength and stiffness while maintaining excellent collapsibility.
The Thaya is a versatile kayak suitable for recreational use on lakes, rivers up to WW2 and even at sea with an optional additional front deck to protect against water spilling over the tip. The kayak can easily be adapted for one or two adults, or two adults and one child, making it an ideal choice for families and individuals.
Dropstitch technology: Dropstitch technology connects the top and bottom layers of the fabric with thousands of polyester fibres. This material, protected by an airtight coating and durable NITRILON® on both sides, allows inflation to very high pressure. The result is strength approaching that of rigid materials while maintaining easy collapsibility.

A more detailed look at the production and materials of Gumotex
How Gumotex boats are made: Production starts with sourcing rubber that is environmentally friendly and easy to repair. This material is obtained by cutting the bark of the rubber tree, which is a sustainable resource. Our process is fully vertically integrated - from raw material to final product, ensuring the highest quality standards.
