Inflatable Canoe with Canadian Style Raised Seats

The Gumotex Palava is an inflatable Canadian 'open' style canoe that will carry one or two paddlers and can take a third child passenger with the optional third seat. It's 'sporty' hull design, and the tough Nitrilon construction, is great for flat water touring on lakes and canals but it also performs very well on white water rivers up to a max. of Grade 2. Supplied with two PE foam topped plywood raised seats. Can be paddled solo by attaching a seat to the central position in order to maintain trim.

Being very buoyant, the Palava provides plenty of confidence when running a set of small rapids. The moveable rigid seats provide additional structure to the hull and come complete with thigh straps. This allows the Palava to be paddled either seated or kneeling. As the paddlers do not have to sit down on the inside base of the hull the Palava is very easy to get in and out of. This makes it a good choice for those who are less flexible than they used to be! There is plenty of storage for overnight trips too, making the Palava a truly versatile craft.

The Palava weights only 17.5kg so portaging is easy. It is supplied with a robust rucksack style dry bag so it can easily be carried to the water inflated or deflated and packed into the bag. This can be particularly handy if you intend paddling in less accessible locations where portage from car to water, or from lake to lake, involves covering difficult terrain such as through forests or along mountain trails. This 'packability' makes it a versatile craft ideal for exploring a system of inland waterways where there may be lakes and adjoining river sections or accessing coastal areas with no convenient car parking nearby.
