The River Gorge 130X tandem Recreational Sit-on-top Kayak is specifically crafted for those looking to share an on-the-water adventure.

Pelican, the industry leader in TWIN SHEET THERMOFORMING (TST), utilizes a highly precise process that greatly improves the structural rigidity of their boats. The three-layer construction includes a vibrant, UV-resistant, and scratch-resistant first layer, a 95% recycled high-density plastic second layer, and a third layer that adds stiffness and durability. This process ensures unparalleled strength, rigidity, and durability at comparable weight, outperforming other manufacturing methods.

The proprietary multi-layer material RAM-X PREMIUM, made of exceptionally durable high molecular weight polyethylene (HMWPE), provides more rigidity than standard polyethylene, thanks to an advanced resin in the top layer. Pelican's designers use less material to deliver the same incredible durability, resulting in a lighter, stiffer, and stronger kayak that is easier to paddle, maneuver, and transport.

Pelican's R&D team utilizes live tests and 3D software to optimize the hydrodynamic efficiency of their different hull types, ensuring the best possible stability, maneuverability, and speed.

The River Gorge 130X tandem kayak is equipped with a host of features that enhance the user experience. The quick-lock hatch and tank well with bungee cords provide additional storage, while the molded footrests, two bottle holders, and four accessory eyelets offer convenience. The adjustable ERGOFIT G2 seating system features thicker ergonomic padding and better air flow for enhanced comfort, and the middle seat provides space for a small child, pet, or extra gear.

For safety, Pelican's unique manufacturing process includes additional flotation inside the hull of all their sit-on-tops to meet or surpass ABYC standards. The scupper holes at the bottom of the kayak help drain any excess water, and the flat hull design ensures peace of mind during the ride. With a maximum capacity of 500 lb, the River Gorge 130X tandem kayak offers a secure and steady experience.
