Sit On Kayaks are primarily used for recreational purposes. If you capsize, they will not fill up with water unlike a Sit In Kayak. Furthermore, they are much easier to get on and off when in the water. Whether you are interested in exploring your favorite coastline or cruising down a calm river or stream, a Sit On recreational kayak is a great option for you.
What is a Sit In Kayak used for?
A Sit In Kayak is is an excellent choice when you want to stay protected from the water and the wind. Since your lower body is covered, you will not have to worry about getting as cold and wet compared to a Sit On Kayak. Many people consider a Sit In Kayak to be a great form of transport rather than a recreational toy. However, these can still be used for recreational purposes. Also, you can buy a spray skirt to reduce water splashing into the inside. It is important to be educated in recovery techniques, since water will most likely fill the kayak if you capsize. Furthermore, Sit In Kayaks can be split into two different categories. Touring Kayaks (Sea Kayaks) and Recreational Sit In Kayaks.
Touring (Sea) Kayaks
These types of kayaks are usually longer and narrower, making them excellent for longer journeys and faster speeds. They also have a narrower cockpit which may be more difficult to get in and out.
