What are key features of the latest recreational kayaks?
A. The latest generation of recreational kayaks are very beamy (wide), shorter and have huge cockpits where thigh contact isn’t really an option. These boats feel stable right from the start and are ideal for paddlers who are not in any particular hurry. Sit-on-top kayaks are great for beginners they are easy to handle and more stable than other styles. The industry trend has seen an explosion of interest in these recreational kayaks which provide greater initial stability at the expense of higher performance.
