Description
The Ultimate Inflatable Touring Kayak for Long-Distance Exploration
The Aqua Marina Memba 390 is a premier inflatable tandem kayak engineered specifically for enthusiasts who prioritize tracking efficiency and speed over long distances. With its signature extra-long waterline and streamlined, curved silhouette, the Memba 390 offers the performance of a hard-shell touring kayak with the unparalleled convenience of an inflatable.
Why the Memba 390 Excels in Performance
The core of the Memba 390’s efficiency lies in its low rocker hull design. When paired with the 7cm high-pressure drop-stitch deck, the kayak achieves a level of rigidity that minimizes drag and maximizes glide. This combination ensures that every stroke translates into forward momentum, making it the ideal choice for adventurers tackling expansive lakes or coastal waters.
Technology & Durability
Aqua Marina has integrated cutting-edge material science to ensure the Memba series stands up to the elements:
- AQUASHELL™ Technology: The hull is encased in heavy-duty shell fabric featuring a specialized anti-UV and water-repellent treatment. This ensures the kayak remains lightweight while offering professional-grade protection against abrasions and sun damage.
- ECO-PRINT™ Technology: Utilizing a revolutionary digital printing technique, the Memba 390 features vibrant, long-lasting graphics. This process is more sustainable than traditional methods, reducing the environmental footprint of your gear.
- DECK SHIELD™: To keep the interior dry, the Memba includes a specialized water shield that prevents splashes from entering the cockpit, allowing you to stay comfortable during choppy conditions.
