A kayak allows you to fish, explore water, enjoy views that can’t be seen from shore, get workouts around the lake or just have fun playing around.
There are many uses for kayaks and it is up to you just how you would like to use one. So how do you know which kayak is best for you? When you’re deciding on a kayak, check out a few details first.
- In what type of water do you want to paddle? Is it a lake, a seacoast or a river? This will help you start to narrow your choices.
- Sit-in or sit-on-top? Do you prefer the protection of a traditional sit-in, or the openness of a sit-on-top? If you’re open to either one, that’s fine, too.
- Kayak weight and your budget: Materials, which directly impact the boat’s price, are the biggest factor in the weight and durability of your boat.
- Shape and size considerations: These affect handling and cargo space.
Remember that you will need to have a life jacket anytime you enter open water.
