This Bluewave kayak is one of the most versatile inflatable kayaks on the market. It combines both inflatable paddle board and kayak design technology to bring you a strong and unyielding inflatable kayak which offers the rigidity of a hard hulled kayak and the easy storage of inflatable watercraft. This drop-stitch kayak can be transformed from tandem to individual kayak with ease, providing great value. The Glider inflatable kayak is ideal for beach paddling as well as for use on rivers, canals and lakes.

The Bluewave Glider kayak inflates to 10 PSI for a rigid construction, which results in a very stable and comfortable craft. Designed for use on lakes, calm rivers and seaside, the Glider makes a perfect kayak for a wide range of environments. The inflatable kayak design takes the stress out of transportation and storage. It comes in a carry bag which features wheels and backpack straps so it can be carried with ease. The compact design means this kayak can be packed in cars without hassle for beach trips or journeys. The Glider kayak features tapered drop-stitch panels which result in high buoyancy and becomes exceptionally rigid when fully inflated. The Bluewave kayaks offer a great design for double use and single use. The design features areas for storage, making this style of kayak ideal for both long and short journeys. The Bluewave Glider kayak is suited for all levels of paddlers.

This Bluewave kayak is designed to be flexible and versatile. The design is family friendly, designed for easy storage and transportation and can be used for both single and double use.

FOOT RESTS
Padded foot rests are provided to offer additional support and are designed to be used as a brace. The padded design creates maximum comfort for the paddler, whilst the strong construction offers stability.

FOUR PIECE PADDLES
Four piece paddles are provided as standard. By having paddles that can be clipped together to create a full length paddle, this enables easier transport and matches the flexible design of the kayak for ease of storage.

REMOVABLE PADDED CUSHION
A removable cushion block for each kayak seat is provided. These cushion blocks add comfort and padding. The optional inserts additionally give the chance to make height adjustments.

EASY TRANSPORTATION
The carrier bag for this inflatable kayak features both wheels and a backpack design to easily and comfortably transport the kayak. The carrier bag fits everything in, including the floatation device, paddles, seats, footrests, fin, pump and repair kit.

STORAGE
The bungee straps on the boat ensures there is plenty of space to store your dry bag securely. In addition to this, items can also be stored in the bow of the boat.

DROP-STITCH KAYAK
A drop-stitch design is featured on the Glider, which makes this kayak incredibly strong through the thousands of threads that connect the top and bottom layers. This drop-stitch design can withstand higher pressures than standard inflatable devices. The threads within the air chamber ensure the kayak doesn’t expand beyond a certain size and as a result doesn’t put stress on the inflatable. This makes a much more rigid structure than other types of inflatable kayaks which uses designs such as i-beam.

Review by Daniel
By far the best kayak (I've owned 3 different ones previously)
5.0/5
Over the last 3 years, I've purchased 3 different premium inflatable kayaks and spent over £2000, all had issues; either too heavy to carry to the water, not rigid enough, didn't track in a straight line, the seats kept moving so they became really uncomfortable or they had so many parts that it was a chore to unpack and pack them. The Bluewave Glider is by far the best kayak, it's as rigid as a surfboard, there is no flex in this kayak at all. It's lightweight and easy to carry, is narrow and tracks in a perfect straight line and best of all; the seat, which has a comfy high back has four fixing points, it doesn't slide out of position, not even an inch. Also, the kayak has 3 air chambers, so if you get a puncture, you've got just enough air to keep you from sinking. This kayak is also easy to clean (no cloth material on the kayak) so no mould or smells when packed. Unlike other kayaks I've tried, you don't need a separate floor or backbone or frame or anything else. This is a one-piece kayak that you simply fold out and pump up via the three valves. While great for lakes, canals and slow-moving rivers, this kayak wants to track in a straight line so it isn't ideal for sharp turns or carving. It also felt unstable and wobbly at first (compared to the three other kayaks I owned) but after 15 minutes I'd got used to it. I only have two gripes about this kayak: 1) The bag sucks, it's a more like a piece of cloth that wraps around the kayak than an actual bag, surely the manufacturers can do better than this? I would gladly pay an extra £20 for a decent bag, thankfully the kayak isn't too heavy so it's not a major issue. 2) My friend, who purchased his kayak at the same time as me, was sent a faulty pump and his kayak was under inflating. He got the pump swapped but the new one wasn't the same as the one in the description and was inferior to my working pump. I love this kayak and so does my dog. Before anyone whinges; she now has a dog buoyancy aid/life jacket.

Impressed with this kayak so far
4.5/5
There are very few reviews on the Glider kayaks, so I have added my first impressions review here, https://www.davidwilsonoutandabout.co.uk/2020/06/my-first-set-up-and-on-water-impression.html
Review by Andy
Fantastic drop stitch inflatable kayak
4.5/5
Once I discovered that you could now buy inflatable kayaks in the rigid drop stitch design as per stand up paddle boards, I just had to have one. I searched many brands and read lots of reviews, but finally settled on the Bluewave kayak. I'm very glad I did. It's very well designed, very quick to inflate to get on the water and easy to deflate, dry off and put away when done. Although does take a little effort to fold and get back into it's bag. On the water, it's superb. It just glides along with minimal effort with its streamlined shape and feels capable of faster speeds than a lot of solid moulded kayaks. The double has plenty of room for two adults and picnic etc. There would also be room for a small adult or child or dog if required. I would reccomend this to anyone wanting the best from an inflatable kayak. Much easier to store and transport than a solid one, but without compromising on performance.
