Points To Keep In Mind When Buying A Kayak
By Melody Veloce
Have you ever thought about trying the magnificent experience of gliding your way through the smooth and sleepy waters of the ocean? Ever thought about the thrill of maneuvering a sleek boat through choppy rills and rivulets, gushing rivers and bubbling streams? Do you dream of a sport that takes you outdoors in the sun, water and lush, green foliage of forests, that will not only challenge and test your skill, but also take you to faraway places you hadn't dreamt of? If you do, then kayaking, with its combination of unspoiled natural surroundings pitted against technical expertise, is the ultimate sport for you. An important part of the expertise, of course, comes from first taking lessons in a hired kayak, and eventually, in choosing the right one to buy. An inappropriate purchase can cost dearly on the high seas!
You’ll be able to pick from a variety of kayaks that include sit-ons, sea kayaks, or kayaks for white water. Decide what type of water you’l most frequently be kayaking on so that you can narrow down your search for the right kayak. If you’re going to be doing some gentle kayaking down the river a touring kayak may be right for you.
Sea kayaks are long, generally 10 to 22 feet in length, while white water rafting boats are shorter, averaging 9 feet or less. As shorter boats are much more easy to maneuver than the longer ones that usually require a lot of expertise, it is recommended that beginners start with a smaller vessel that can be increased in size over a period of time and with added skill. Once experience is gained the increase in the size of the boat becomes especially desirable for enhanced fast paddling and tracking.
While buying a kayak, sit in the boat, to get a feel of it to see whether you are comfortable or not. Adjust the backrest, seat and footrest
as per your seating style, to feel as easy as possible. Before you pay up, take out the kayak for a ride and see how it handles on water. Always remember that a kayak is a huge purchase so choose the one that you is comfortable and fulfills your kayaking purpose.
When you’re looking for a kayak to buy you should also bring along your spray skirt to make sure that it fits any boat that you’re considering. You don’t want to buy the kayak only to find that you now need to buy a new spray skirt.
Don’t forget to take a look at the advantages of different hull sizes. A shorter hull that is made of plastic is good if you’re just starting out as a sea kayaker. You may like the way a wooden hull looks but it requires a lot of maintenance and you won’t want the worries of damage if you’re a beginner.
The important thing to remember when buying a kayak is that you don’t make an impulse buy and that you have the help of someone experienced and knowledgeable about kayaks to give you advice about your kayak selections.
