Inflatable kayak Igla-490

New 2023 model: sport tandemhybrid inflatable kayak  IGLA 490 .
Comfortable, fast, light and manoeuvrable. A kayak you’ll want to take on your next trip. The hull’s refined contours produce a sleek, hydrodynamic form which sees the IGLA slice through the water.
The IGLA is composed of two parts: a twin side-tube hull for a slim profile, and a removable high-pressure dropstitch floor to tension the structure and improve rigidity and glide.
The side tubes are stacked one above the other with an internal partition. This arrangement not only improves longitudinal rigidity over a single side tube, but at 76cm wide, makes the IGLA one of the narrowest IKs in its class while retaining generous internal space and excellent stability.
The IGLA 490 makes a fast and spacious tandem kayak
The kayak has attachment points for mounting an optional rudder, including a pivot mount on the stern and foot pedal fittings on the floor). With a rudder you can compensate for oblique waves or winds pushing the kayak off track while maintaining a balanced padding rhythm. Controlling the kayak with the pedals is intuitive while performing tight turns are merely a secondary benefit to rudders. Adjustable knee braces combined with footrests improve the connection with the boat to improve paddling efficiency.
Allow 6-8 minutes to set up your IGLA. Unroll the boat and fit the loose floor into the hull then clip to the hull → check the valves are in the open (down) position → inflate the sidetubes until the release valves hiss → inflate the floor → position the seat/s, clipping them to the the sides and the floor.
