The Sieg had a significantly elevated water level during our kayak tour, with overflow occurring in many areas. The river is navigable in this section from a minimum water level of 55 cm in Eitorf, located 42 km downstream. During our journey, the water level there was as high as 165 cm. Just a few days earlier, it even peaked at 250 cm. It was a unique kayaking experience, as this water level allowed for a much richer appreciation of the surroundings.
Together with @FlussFahrerMatthes, I paddled from Wissen to Schladern, covering a distance of approximately 20 km where there are no weirs, and portaging is not required. Matthes had the opportunity to thoroughly test the new Gumotex Seashine on the fast-flowing water. With an impressive length of 470 cm and a V-shaped dropstitch bottom, the Seashine is not only very fast but also remarkably stable. Its width is only 82 cm, and the kayak can carry a weight of 250 kg with a mere 18 kg of its own weight!
The 316 cm long Swing may not match the Seashine in speed, but for its modest length, it is by no means slow for an inflatable kayak and is clearly more athletic and agile.
