So why the GTX Solo modular kayak?

The design of this kayak is, without a doubt, the first thing you will notice. Once assembled, it is a complete and beautiful sit-on-top kayak, and its performance is undoubtedly impeccable. However, when you take a closer look you will notice that the kayak splits in two halves. This innovative design brought Tequila! GTX quite a few awards, such as Popular Science’s “Best of What’s New” and the ISPO finalist award “ISPO Brandnew”, as well as the Red Dot design award. But since the awards won’t get you in the water, let’s talk about the benefits of such a design. First, when not assembled, you will get two pieces of it, which are much lighter than wearing a full kayak. Secondly, when you have to transport it in a vehicle, it takes up much less space and you can put it in the trunk and not worry. 

The performance of this particular kayak model will leave you speechless. It is one of the fastest kayaks on the market, and the new tracking keel allows it to paddle straight like an arrow. Maneuverability is also excellent and you can do it easily. Stability is not a problem at all and you can sit or stand on it without problems. Comfort is provided by the AIR seat, which comes with an pneumatically adjustable backrest for even greater comfort. 

You will also get a cup holder as well as molded multi leg rests, and the whole package guarantees you optimal relaxation. You will get more than enough storage space and you can load it for a day trip or maybe for a weekend adventure, it depends entirely on you. Tequila! GTX Solo Modular Sit-On-Top Kayak is also designed to accommodate appliances, a cooler or other things that you may need when you go fishing.

There’s one more thing about Tequila! GTX Solo modular kayak, which should be another benefit if you ever want to kayak with a partner. There is a Snap Tap midsection, which you add between the two halves of the kayak and allows you to add another seat to the kayak, turning it into a tandem kayak. How cool is that?
