The Gumotex Swing 1 is a touring kayak tailored for extended journeys. Its distinctive reinforcement system ensures both strength and maneuverability, making it suitable for lakes, coastal bays, and even flowing rivers, including lower-grade white water if desired. With the option for spray decks, this closed cockpit kayak keeps the paddler warmer and ensures gear stays dry. Despite its robust design, the Gumotex Swing 1 remains lightweight for easy portability, allowing for effortless trips on canal systems and similar environments.

The Gumotex Swing 1 comes with a seat and a footrest. You can enhance the directional stability and maneuverability of the Gumotex Swing 1 in the water with the included fin. Additionally, you receive a repair kit for minor damages, a valve key, a sponge for cleaning, and a fabric bag for transport. This allows you to store, maintain, and of course, use your Gumotex Swing 1 ideally in the water.
For the Gumotex Swing 1, in addition to classic accessories like paddles, pump, or life jacket, we can also recommend a pressure gauge for measuring the operating pressure. This ensures that you inflate your Gumotex Swing 1 correctly and safely.
The Gumotex Swing 1 can be set up in just a few minutes with a good air pump. Before inflating, insert the two crossbars into the tabs inside and attach the backrest. The Swing 1 consists of 3 air chambers (one floor chamber and two side chambers), all equipped with easy-to-use push-push valves. These are inflated to 0.2 bar, starting with the side chambers. Finally, you need to insert the coaming ring to reinforce the gunwale. Before inflating, make sure to attach the fin - simply slide it into the fitting on the underside of the Gumotex Swing 1.
The Gumotex Swing 1 is a 1-person kayak. Even tall individuals have ample space inside, although the foot space might be a bit tight with large shoes. For smaller individuals, we recommend attaching the footrest. Additionally, the Gumotex Swing 1 provides sufficient storage space for day trips.
