Gumotex Palava
The Gumotex Palava is an inflatable Canadian 'open' style canoe that will carry one or two paddlers. It's 'sporty' hull design, and the tough Nitrilon construction, is great for flatwater touring on lakes and canals but it also performs very well on white water rivers up to a max. of Grade 2.
It's rugged and tough Nitrilon construction, along with the sharp bow and longer hull, make it ideal for white-water for novices and experts alike. Being very buoyant, the Palava provides plenty of confidence when running a set of small rapids. The moveable rigid seats provide additional struture 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 so is also ideally suited for those who are less flexible than they used to be! There is a good amount 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 suppied with a robust rucksack style dry bag so it can easily be carried to the water inflated or deflated. 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 diffiult terrain such as through forests or along mountain trails. This 'packability' makes it a very 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.
