We consider the Baraka to be the best inflatable whitewater canoe. The so-called keel profile is applied to the bottom, which strengthens the bottom and improves the overall hydrodynamics of the boat, which translates into an increase in the speed of the canoe. The extremely strong hull has excellent handling characteristics, which the crew will appreciate especially when sailing in rapids. The Baraka canoe offers an unmatched choice of interior design and exceptionally large interior space. The boat can carry 2 adult paddlers and 1 child or 350 kg of cargo. Gumotex Baraka is made from high quality and durable NITRILON® material. The use of canoes is required up to the level of difficulty WW IV.
For water tourism on calmer water and a crew and luggage weight of up to 200 kg, we recommend the smaller but faster Gumotex Palava canoe , for the family or for long tours the Gumotex Scout canoe . Gumotex canoe comparison .
