Newly updated, now constructed in Light Nitrilon - now in stock! A lightweight, environmentally-friendly 3PSI inflatable kayak for two paddlers - only 26 lbs!

The 13 foot Innova Swing II inflatable tandem kayak offers reliable performance on flatwater and slow-moving rivers.

The Innova Swing II uses an efficient "tubeless" system which is inherently lighter and inflates to higher pressures of 3 PSI. The higher pressure means that the Swing II is stiffer in rough water and has better paddling performance, while a removable tracking fin keeps the kayak "on course". It's perfect for recreational touring, great for exploring slow-moving rivers, paddling along ocean shorelines, or mild whitewater/surf.

The newly updated Innova Swing II is now constructed from Light Nitrilon, a polyester ripstop fabric that is single coated with rubber to increase air retension. A specialized manufacturing process vulcanizes the natural rubber compound on the interior of the fabric, resulting in durable construction that tolerates high interior pressure. The main chambers can be inflated to 3 PSI, translating into a stiff inflatable boat that handles responsively.

Light Nitrilon is PVC-free, making it more environmentally friendly than standard inflatables using PVC bladders - there is no out-gassing. Light Nitrilon is a lighterweight version of the rugged Nitrilon material used in the traditional Innova Sunny, Helios and safari models. The base polyester ripstop material is coated with an outer layer of synthetic rubber, improving longevity as well as making the kayaks more rigid, water and abrasion resistant, without substantially increasing the kayak weight. It is also lightweight and stores compactly when deflated and folded.

New features also include improved seating with a removable, inflatable seat and beefed up foot brace.

The Innova Swing II decks shed water quickly. The deck support system uses aluminum arches fore and aft of the cockpit openings. These arches are set crosswise and provide deck shape and structure. The arches contribute to the stiffness of the Swing for paddling in rough water. These arches can be removed easily for a compact folded package, or left in the kayak for a slightly larger folded size.

There's plenty of room for storage or camping gear - bow, center and stern spray decks offer spray protection and provide space for gear stored underneath. The decks have fore-and-aft zippers for ease of gear access and cleaning the boat. Planning a camping trip?  Bungee deck rigging is perfect for storing extra gear within easy reach.

The Innova Swing II features three separate air chambers for safety. The valves are high-quality “bayonet” style units set flush with the fabric surface.
