Why are Easy Rider kayaks asymmetric?
There are several reasons why our kayaks are asymmetric, i.e. why the widest point of the craft is aft of the center: Like Olympic racing craft, our kayaks require the least amount of muscle power to reach optimum cruising speeds. Our asymmetric kayaks maintain a level attitude, with optimized performance at any cruising speed. Asymmetric kayaks provide an optimum of stern cargo area, with a minimum of trim sensitivity. Therefore, our double seaters are easy to paddle solo (from the stern cockpit).
