Sit on Kayak

Sit on kayaks are becoming very popular today for many reasons one of which is their versatility.The sit on kayak is a multi purpose kayak which can cope with all the different locations you would like to paddle, whether you wish to play, fish or just relax and paddle

The original sit in variety of kayaks can be very unstable for the novice and take a huge amount of practice to just learn how to balance even before you start to learn to paddle etc.

I found the whole time I was paddling the sit in variety my muscles were working overtime just to keep me upright and in the kayak. Canoes are very similar they also require a lot of practice.

The sit on kayak is not as fast as the others because of their width (beam) the narrower the vessel the faster.

 

 

Sit on kayaks usually have a skeg which runs the length of the kayak underneath, the skeg is a bulbous moulding which aids in steering and tracking straighter but reduces manoeuvrability. The sit on kayaks are very stable and take very little time to become accustomed to, they also come in a huge range of colours and styles with different shapes even different patterns and textured finishes.

Sit on kayaks are excellent fun in the surf riding the breakers, surfing in to the beach then paddling back out and doing it again or just lolling along in a quiet estuary with the dolphins nearby and an abundance of bird life all around you keeping you company and in some cases the only sounds you will hear.

 

You can paddle into small inlets and creeks where the water is barely knee deep and in some cases find areas rarely or never visited before. The tranquillity and solitude you can experience whilst paddling can be so relaxing. I find the sit on kayak is great for fishing as I can store my fishing gear behind me with the anchor in a moulding recess.

The fishing rod goes firmly secured in a rotating pivoting rod holder in front of me in the centre of the kayak, electronic fish finders, gps even CD players and other audio players with separate speakers can be recessed into the hull or can be installed in the many area's on the kayak as long as they are weather and splash proof.

 

 

Everything can and must be secured or an accidental capsize could be quite expensive depositing everything to the bottom of the ocean or river. Kayaking in comparison to other boating activities is very in-expensive. Once you have set-up your kayak you can pack up your lunch and paddle for a whole day for little or no expense. Try it you will not be disappointed with your sit on kayak.

 

Happy Kayaking
