RECREATIONAL
Recreational kayaking involves leisure activities for the casual paddler on lakes, inlets, or latwater streams. Recreational
kayaks are characterized by a large cockpit opening for easy entry and exit, a wide hull for increased stability on the water,
and a medium length for compromise between speed and maneuverability.
Due to the wider hull, recreational kayaks will not track as well as sea kayaks but the extra stability makes them suitable for
a wide range of paddlers and skill levels. They generally have less cargo space as well as limited capacity to keep water out
of the boat since they are meant exclusively for calm water paddling.
They come in solo and tandem models, can be used in a variety of settings, and are the perfect option for individuals or
families looking for relaxed fun on the water.
