All the Innova tandems, including the Twist II, are out of stock for the foreseeable future. We will update this page when they are available again.
There have been some nice changes to the Innova Twist models recently. Along with removable seats, the tandems’ length has increased about 8" and the retail price has dropped a bit. Innova now brings these in made with the same 1200 denier nitryl material used on their more expensive models. Lifespans on these boats are typically well over twenty years and repairs due to cuts & damage are almost unheard of.
Along with its 30 pound weight, no tandem inflatable kayak packs smaller than the Twist II double, so this works perfect for air travel, backpacking, or even in a bicycle trailer or for motorcyclists. And just how small is the packed size of the Twist II Kayak? A mere 1-1/4 cubic feet (10" X 14" X 18"). As we said, nothing else comes close.
Despite the somewhat short 11'10" hull the tandem Twist if very well laid out. It holds two tall adults without a problem. The rear seat is so far back compared to the other, longer Innovas that there is leg room even for a person up to 6'6". This boat can hold 400 pounds, but it is better with 350. The Twists feature grab loops at the bow & stern, and a stepped foot rest for the bow paddler. These footrests do not hold air for extended periods, but can be firmed up with a single puff from any foot or hand pump.
The current colors are red or a fairly bright green, with gray interiors. These do not come with the fancy shoulder-pack drybag like the more expensive Innovas, just a canvas stow pouch, but the removable tracking fin & patch kit are included.
Please note that any accessories purchased with your boat are 10% off, and also note that our shopping cart as yet does NOT reflect these discounts - it will show a higher total so we will adjust the bottom line before ringing the transaction through.
