About kayaks

Kayaks are built for different water and uses. Sit-on-top kayaks are stable, easy to get on and off and popular for warm water and fishing. Sit-inside kayaks keep you drier and warmer and include recreational kayaks for calm water and longer touring and sea kayaks for distance and open water. Whitewater kayaks are short and maneuverable for rivers.

Fishing kayaks add rod holders, mounting tracks and sometimes pedal drives. Inflatable and folding kayaks pack small for storage and travel. Tandem kayaks seat two. Paddles vary by length, blade shape and material.

Choose by where you paddle, your size and how you'll transport and store it. Always wear a buoyancy aid or life jacket, learn self-rescue, and check local rules on registration or launch permits.

Choosing a kayak

  • Match kayak type to your water — calm lakes, rivers, coast or whitewater.
  • Check length, width, weight and capacity against your size and gear.
  • Pick paddle length by your height, kayak width and paddling style.
  • For used kayaks, check the hull for cracks, deep scratches and warping.
  • Plan transport and storage — roof racks, trailers or inflatable options.
  • Wear a buoyancy aid and check local launch rules.

Questions about kayaks

Sit-on-top or sit-inside kayak?

Sit-on-tops are stable and easy to re-enter, suited to warm water and fishing. Sit-insides are warmer, drier and more efficient for touring.

Are inflatable kayaks any good?

Many perform well on calm water and are easy to store and transport. Higher-pressure models with drop-stitch floors are stiffer.

What length kayak should I get?

Shorter kayaks turn easily, while longer kayaks track straighter and go faster. Ask the seller about your intended use.
