Overview
A day on open water from a seat inside a molded polyethylene hull is what this kayak is built around. It has an adjustable seat with a high back, adjustable foot braces, carrying handles, a storage hatch and a bottle holder.
A comfortable seat with adjustable bracing and a hatch for gear are the reasons to look at it. The limitation is the lack of fishing features: no rod holders are listed, and the capacity is modest.
Who it's for
Casual paddlers on calm water will like the supportive seat and the hatch for small items. Anglers, heavier paddlers and anyone who wants an open deck should look at sit-on-top models.
Pros and cons
- High-back adjustable seat
- Adjustable foot braces
- Storage hatch and bottle holder
- No fishing features listed
- Modest weight capacity
- Sit-in cockpit limits movement
Performance notes
A sit-in hull lowers the paddler's center of gravity and shelters the legs. The foot braces give the paddler something to push against, which improves stroke power. Width and length set how steadily it tracks.
