Bluewave Glider (Double, Red)

Inflatable Tandem Kayak

From: Bluewave

The Bluewave Inflatable Kayak Double is a complete tandem kayaking package built for lakes, calm rivers and seaside paddling. Made from triple layer PVC with reinforced drop-stitching, it holds up against scuffs and rough handling. One buyer paddled it through rapids on a five-day river trip without a single mark left on the hull.

Setup takes about 7 minutes using the included two-way speed pump. The kayak inflates up to 10 PSI, giving it exceptional rigidity compared to standard inflatables. Tapered drop-stitch side walls add buoyancy and keep the craft steady on the water.

The set includes two 4-piece paddles, raised seats, a skeg fin, footrests, a repair kit and a wheeled carry bag that doubles as a backpack. Deflated, it packs down to just 85cm x 48cm x 22cm.

Product Features

Rigid drop-stitch construction - The tapered drop-stitch side walls let the kayak inflate up to 10 PSI. This creates a firm hull that feels closer to a hardshell kayak than a typical inflatable. Riders report it stays on a straight heading with little steering effort. Fast setup time - The included two-way speed pump inflates the kayak in around 7 minutes. This means less time preparing and more time on the water. Deflation and packing back into the wheeled bag is just as quick. Durable PVC build - Triple layer PVC with reinforced 1000 denier walls and heavy duty valves resists punctures and UV damage. One owner covered over 200 miles including rapids without scuffing the material, showing real world durability.
Complete kit included - The set comes with two 4-piece paddles, two raised seats, a skeg fin, footrests, a repair kit and a wheeled carry bag. There is nothing extra to buy before getting on the water. Portable design - Deflated, the kayak fits into a wheeled bag measuring 85cm x 48cm x 22cm and weighs 18kg. It fits in most car boots and can be carried as a backpack for longer walks to the water. High load capacity - The kayak carries up to 317kg, enough for two adults plus gear. This makes it suitable for longer trips where extra kit like dry bags or a dog need to come along too.
