Sit-on-top kayaks | Choosing the right kayak
To choose the best kayak to meet your needs, there are a number of key criteria to consider. The starting point is knowing what you plan on using the kayak for and choosing the type of kayak that best fits that activity.

We will also take a look at the construction...

How to choose this product
sit-on-top-kayak

The user of a sit-on-top, or open-cockpit kayak sits on rather than in the craft. Often wider than other types, it is unsinkable thanks to its double hull.

Applications

Originally promoted as a boat for beginners, today's numerous models are suitable for everything from surfing to long-shore ocean cruising. Its stability makes it a good choice for novices or those worried about capsizing in a skirted model. It is also ideal for fishing and spear fishing.

Technologies

These kayaks have no deck, are stable and unsinkable, making it very easy to get back on after a capsize. Shipped water flows out through scuppers. Polyethylene construction makes them impact-resistant, but also heavy. However, newer high-density polyethylene offers a reasonable sturdiness-to-weight ratio.

How to choose

The sit-on-top kayak can be fitted out according to the user's wishes with gear nets, watertight storage, depth finder mount or other equipment.

Advantages

- Stability
- No Eskimo roll necessary for righting
- Rugged
- Suitable for all water conditions

Disadvantages

- Heavy
- Extra width produces extra drag
- Extra height results in more wind drift
