Gumotex RUSH 1 11′ 8″ is a performance single kayak, suitable for recreation, lakes, cruising along the seashore, and navigating rivers up to WW2. It is the first model in a new Gumotex series of hybrid kayaks with a drop-stitch bottom and narrow inflatable keel integrated INTO the Dropstitch 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, 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 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.

Featured on THAYA, RUSH, TWIST, SWING, SOLAR, FRAMURA, SEAWAVE, SEASHINE, SAFARI 330 and HALIBUT kayaks

☑ 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 curved 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 featuring a pronounced, unyielding longitudinal line. This is the key element in the shape of its hull that enables the RUSH to climb waves and swells, WITHOUT bumping into them and passing through them,  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 for the inflatable kayak market.

☑ removed dropstitch from the bow and stern spokes and replaced with „standard“ intermediate walls
☑ added a new „Seashine“ seat with Push-Push valve
☑ the side lines on the bow and stern are 10cm shorter to avoid hitting on them when paddling
