  • Summary

  • As with canoes, it is important to remember that no kayak can do it all. Therefore, to choose the most suitable kayak for you, you have to get an idea of how you are going to use your kayak.

    Perhaps choosing a kayak is easier for you if you "calculate your future use" of the kayak in percentage, such as: 80% paddling the length, 10% fishing, 10% excursions. In the example, a sea kayak would suit you, since you will have some stability to be able to fish, a hatch to store things for the excursion and a cover net to store fishing things.

    There are many types of kayak and some suit your needs much better than others.

    When choosing your kayak, you can also look at its length (longer, faster), weight, bathtub size, cargo volume, construction material, width, stability / hull shape, price, etc. The one is faster and more maneuverable. The other does not drift in the crosswind or sails very well in the sternwind, etc, etc. etc.
