Sit-on or Sit-in ?
Picture
The benefits of a Sit-in Kayak are many, they are warmer/faster and more responsive than their sit-on counterparts and when paddled by someone who has the proper training are actually more stable having a lower center of gravity sitting position and good points of contact - in a nut shell they are easier to control once you have mastered good technique. Within this category it seems that there are as many different kayaks on the market as there are ripples on the water ! There is good reason for this, designing a sit-in kayak is a complex task as the manufacturer must take many design factors into account to produce a hull that will perform optimally in the water conditions it is designed for....
           The right boat..the right training...the perfect roll
Picture
Of course the designer must not only take into account the type of water the kayak will be in but also what type of person will be in the Kayak ! Basically the end result is that there is a Kayak out there perfectly suited to your individual needs to take you on the waters of your choice, the only problem is finding it ! We stock a range of Sit-in Kayaks of varying hull designs and we take the time to ensure that you end up with the Kayak that is most suited to your particular needs and skill level - If we don't have something that suits you we will do our best to point you in the right direction to track it down....
