The Bluewave Inflatable Kayak Glider is a single-person kayak built for lakes, calm rivers and seaside paddling. It comes as a complete set with a four-piece paddle, raised seat, skeg fin, foam footrest, carry bag and two-way pump. Nothing extra to buy before you hit the water.
Construction uses triple layer PVC with reinforced drop-stitching. This gives the kayak exceptional rigidity once inflated, so it holds its shape well against waves and current. Three separate air chambers mean a puncture in one won't sink the whole kayak.
Inflation takes just 7 minutes using the included two-way speed pump, reaching 10 PSI. Deflated, it packs down to 56cm x 56cm x 30cm and weighs only 14.3kg. It supports paddlers and gear up to 225kg, suiting beginners through to intermediate paddlers.
The two-way speed pump included in the set inflates the kayak to 10 PSI in around 7 minutes. The pump pushes air in on both strokes, which speeds up the process compared to single-action pumps.
You get the kayak itself, a four-piece paddle, a raised seat, a skeg fin, a foam footrest, a carry bag and the two-way pump. There's nothing else to buy to get out on the water.
The Glider has a maximum load capacity of 225kg. This covers the paddler's bodyweight plus any gear, dry bags or extra passengers such as a dog.
The hull is split into three separate air chambers. If one chamber punctures the other two hold enough air to keep the kayak afloat and get you back to shore.
The kayak weighs 14.3kg. Deflated it folds down to 56cm x 56cm x 30cm, small enough to fit in the included carry bag and store in a car boot or cupboard.
Yes. The Glider suits beginners through to intermediate paddlers. It's designed for lakes, calm rivers and seaside use rather than white water or fast-moving rivers.
No. The seat fixes at four points on the kayak floor, so it stays in position during use. It has a high back for support on longer paddling sessions.
The Glider uses triple layer PVC with reinforced drop-stitching between the walls. This gives it a UV and oil resistant finish along with heavy duty inflation valves at each chamber.
