Elevate your paddling adventures with the Pelican River Gorge 130X 13′ Sit-On-Top Recreational Tandem Kayak. Designed for two paddlers plus a small child or pet, this durable HDPE tandem kayak combines exceptional stability, comfort, and storage—ideal for exploring calm lakes, gentle rivers, or coastal bays. At just 73 lbs, the River Gorge 130X is lightweight enough for easy transport yet rugged enough to support up to 500 lbs of paddlers and gear.
Multi-Chine Hull & Superior Stability
The River Gorge 130X features a twin-arched, multi-chine hull engineered for outstanding stability and tracking. The subtle V-chine ensures responsive turns and straight-line performance, while exaggerated chine rails increase secondary stability—keeping you upright when leaning or bracing. Built-in flotation blocks inside the hull meet or exceed ABYC standards, so you can paddle with confidence, even when the water is choppy.
A flat hull design combined with strategically placed scupper holes allows any excess water to drain quickly, keeping the kayak stable and dry. The low profile and shallow cockpit make it easy for paddlers to embark or disembark without wobbling.
ERGOFIT G2 Seating System & Molded Footrests
Enjoy hours on the water with the adjustable ERGOFIT G2 seating system, featuring thicker ergonomic padding and enhanced airflow. Each seat cushion can be tilted or tightened to match your preferred riding angle—reducing fatigue on long excursions. Multiple molded footrest positions accommodate riders of different heights, ensuring efficient strokes and better boat control.
A molded-in middle seat provides a secure spot for a small child, pet, or extra gear, making this 13′ tandem kayak perfect for family adventures. When you need extra room, the middle seat can be removed to maximize deck space.
Ample Storage & Onboard Features
The Pelican River Gorge 130X comes outfitted with upgraded storage and convenience features to keep your gear organized:
- Quick-Lock Front Hatch: Secure a small dry bag, keys, or snacks under a waterproof cover at your feet.
- Rear Tank Well with Bungee Cords: Store coolers, dry bags, or extra layers in the stern well, held securely by heavy-duty bungee straps.
- Two Bottle Holders & Four Accessory Eyelets: Keep drinks within reach and attach gear such as fish finders, lights, or cameras using molded accessory mounts.
- Molded Footrests: Adjust foot placement for maximum comfort and leverage—ideal for varying leg lengths and paddling styles.
- Front & Rear T-Handles: Four sturdy carry handles make transporting this 73-lb kayak effortless, whether solo or with a partner.
These thoughtful features let you focus on paddling and exploration without worrying about loose gear or waterlogged equipment.
Lightweight Performance & High Load Capacity
Weighing only 73 lbs, the River Gorge 130X is significantly lighter than competing tandem kayaks, making it easy to load onto roof racks or stow in a garage. Despite its lightweight construction, this kayak supports a maximum combined weight of 500 lbs, so two adult paddlers plus a child and gear are well within its capacity.
The 13′ length provides excellent glide and tracking, allowing you to cover longer distances with minimal effort. Its moderate 34″ beam offers a stable platform for standing, fishing, or capturing the perfect photo—while the deep hull channels keep you on course.
