"The Parr" is designed as an introductory kayak for a child size paddler. The parent or grandparent wishing to introduce their child or grandchild to kayaking will appreciate the Parr's removable sponsons. When attached, the sponsons make the kayak extremely stable. However, as the paddler's skills improve, the sponsons can be removed - allowing it to realize its potential - swift and agile. "When the day comes that your son and/or daughter outgrow this kayak, it should be hung over the mantel - patiently in wait for the next generation's sea kayaker."
