The TWIKI I Aquadesign inflatable kayak is a single-person model designed for whitewater enthusiasts seeking freedom, stability, and performance. Thanks to its high-pressure drop-stitch construction and 1100 DTEX PVC fabric, it combines lightness, rigidity, and strength, guaranteeing precise handling on Class I to IV rivers.
Its 12.5 cm Dropstitch bottom provides rigidity comparable to that of a rigid kayak, offering smooth gliding and excellent responsiveness in rapids. The pronounced rocker (37 cm / 42 cm) facilitates wave passage and improves maneuverability, even in technical sections.
Weighing just 13 kg, the TWIKI I is easy to transport and inflate, and ensures maximum safety thanks to its four Aquadesign RC valves. The self-bailing holes allow for rapid water drainage, keeping it stable and lightweight even in rough conditions.
The kayak comes complete with a removable 22cm thwart for added stability, a pair of thigh braces for better support, and a repair kit. Its 87cm width and 25cm tube diameter ensure comfort and balance.
Ideal for experienced paddlers and clubs alike, the TWIKI I is the perfect inflatable kayak to discover the power and freedom of whitewater, without compromising between safety and fun.

A well-maintained PVC canoe or kayak will provide you with many years of safe adventures. To preserve its performance, watertightness, and durability, adopt these best practices.
• Rinse after each outing
After each use, rinse your boat thoroughly with clean water.
✔️ Remove sand, mud and debris to prevent premature wear of the PVC fabric.
✔️ Use a soft sponge to avoid scratching the coating or damaging the glued areas.
• Dry completely before storing
✔️ Never store your canoe or kayak while it is still wet.
✔️ Let it dry completely in the shade: prolonged exposure to the sun accelerates the aging of the material.
✔️ Ensure that all chambers and the bottom are completely dry to prevent mold and bad odors.
• Suitable storage
Store your boat in a dry, ventilated place, protected from extreme temperature variations.
✔️ Avoid any proximity to heat sources (radiator, engine, flame).
✔️ Protect it from rodents, insects and sharp objects.
• Pressure and inflation
Always respect the recommended inflation pressure (generally around 2.5 PSI, unless otherwise indicated by the manufacturer).
✔️ Overinflation can weaken the seams and valves.
✔️ In warm weather, slightly reduce the pressure to compensate for air expansion.
• Preventive maintenance
✔️ Regularly inspect valves, seams and bonding areas.
✔️ Immediately repair any micro-perforations using a repair kit suitable for PVC.
