The Gumotex Seashine is a new dropstitch model from Gumotex. Its floor is made of dropstitch material, forming a lightweight keel. The seats are completely redesigned, featuring high backrests similar to the Grabner High-Pressure Seat. They no longer have screw valves but instead use the same valves as the boat itself.
The Seashine has small covers at the front and rear, with the rear one equipped with a waterproof zipper. There will be both a single and a double cockpit option for the boat. The keel of the boat is protected along its entire length by a keel strip. It is possible to mount both a steering system and a fin on the boat.
Steve has already tested the Gumotex Seashine on several trips and was quite impressed by its performance. The Gumotex Seashine is the ideal boat for those who paddle together frequently. Due to its length, it is particularly suitable for lakes and larger bodies of water.

The Gumotex Seashine can be paddled alone or with up to three people. When paddling solo, the Seashine offers ample space for luggage, making it ideal for longer trips. Even with two people, there is still plenty of legroom and storage space. However, with three people, the space is somewhat limited, but it's still suitable for a day trip with friends or children. In such cases, you'll need an additional seat for your Gumotex Seashine.
The Gumotex Seashine can also be equipped with a solo or tandem cockpit, allowing you to store your luggage conveniently for longer trips. Additionally, the Seashine fully unleashes its potential with a rudder system, making maneuvering and steering much easier.
In addition to classic accessories like paddles, pumps, or life jackets, we also recommend considering a canoe cart. This accessory enables quick and easy transportation of your Gumotex Seashine, enhancing your overall kayaking experience.
The Gumotex Seashine can be easily assembled with a good air pump in just a few minutes. It consists of 3 air chambers - two side chambers and the drop-stitch floor. First, the side chambers are inflated using the easy-to-use push-push valves to 0.25 bar. Then, the drop-stitch floor requires 0.5 bar. The included seats and footrests are already inflated after a few pump strokes and can be quickly attached to the kayak. It's important to attach the fin before inflating - simply insert it into the fitting on the underside of the Gumotex Seashine.
Das Gumotex Seashine ist alleine oder mit bis zu drei Personen fahrbar. Alleine bietet das Seashine sehr viel Platz für Gepäck und eignet sich deshalb auch perfekt für längere Touren. Auch zu zweit hat man noch genügend Platz für Beine und Gepäck. Dieser Platz ist zu dritt ein wenig eingeschränkt, es spricht aber nichts gegen eine Tagestour mit Freunden oder Kindern. Dafür benötigst du jedoch einen Zusatzsitz für dein Gumotex Seashine.
