Bluewave Glider (Orange, 2-Person)

Inflatable Tandem Kayak

From: Bluewave

The Bluewave Inflatable Kayak Glider 2-person is a tandem inflatable kayak built from triple layer PVC. It's designed for lakes, calm rivers and coastal paddling. The deck measures 473 cm x 85 cm when inflated and packs down to just 85 cm x 48 cm x 22 cm when deflated.

Inflation takes only 7 minutes thanks to the included two-way speed pump. Reinforced drop-stitching and heavy duty valves give the hull a rigid feel on the water. The UV and oil resistant finish helps the material hold up against sun exposure and general wear.

The kit includes two 4-piece paddles, two raised seats with footrests, a skeg fin, repair kit and a wheeled carry bag that doubles as a backpack. Weight capacity reaches 317 kg, making it suitable for two adults plus gear.

Product Features

Triple Layer PVC Construction - The hull uses three layers of PVC with reinforced drop-stitching between them. This creates thousands of internal beams that hold the kayak rigid when inflated. A rigid hull tracks straighter and resists bending in choppy water. Fast 7-Minute Inflation - The two-way speed pump handles both inflation and deflation, cutting setup time down to 7 minutes. This means less time on the shore and more time paddling. No need for a separate air compressor or bike pump. Portable Wheeled Carry Bag - When deflated the kayak folds down to 85 cm x 48 cm x 22 cm and fits inside a wheeled bag that also works as a backpack. This makes transport easier on foot or over rough ground without needing roof racks.

Skeg Fin For Tracking - The removable skeg fin reduces yaw, roll and counter pitch while paddling. This keeps the kayak moving in a straighter line with less correction needed from the paddler, which is useful for beginners still learning technique. High Weight Capacity - With a maximum load of 317 kg, the Glider carries two adults plus kit such as dry bags, food and camping gear. This makes it practical for day trips as well as longer outings on calm water. Complete Accessory Set - The package includes two 4-piece paddles, two raised seats with footrests, a repair kit and storage bag. Buyers don't need to source extra parts separately, which saves both time and money before the first trip out.

FAQs

How long does it take to inflate the kayak?

The Glider inflates in around 7 minutes using the included two-way speed pump. The same pump can also be used to deflate the kayak quickly at the end of a trip, which speeds up packing away considerably compared to manual pumps.

How many people can use this kayak?

This is a 2-person tandem kayak fitted with two raised seats and two sets of footrests. Both paddlers get their own 4-piece paddle included in the set, so there's no need to buy anything extra to get started.

What is the maximum weight it can carry?

The Glider has a weight capacity of strong>317 kg (700 lbs). This covers two adults plus additional gear such as dry bags or a cool box, making it suitable for both short trips and longer outings.

What material is the kayak made from?

It's constructed from triple layer PVC with reinforced drop-stitching. This method places thousands of internal beams between the layers, giving the kayak a rigid feel once inflated despite being a soft-sided inflatable craft.

Where is this kayak suitable for use?

The Glider is designed for lakes, calm rivers and sheltered seaside paddling. It's not built for whitewater rapids or rough open sea conditions, so it suits beginners and intermediate paddlers looking for calmer water.

How do you store and transport the kayak?

Once deflated, the kayak folds down to 85 cm x 48 cm x 22 cm and fits inside the included wheeled carry bag. This bag also converts into a backpack, so it can be carried on foot without needing a roof rack or trailer.

What accessories come included with the kayak?

The set includes two 4-piece paddles, two seats, a two-way speed pump, a skeg fin, a repair kit and the wheeled storage bag. Everything needed to get on the water is included in the box.

Is there a warranty with this product?

Yes, the Bluewave Glider comes with a 12 month warranty. This excludes damage caused by extreme weather conditions or improper use, so it's worth reading the care instructions before first use.
