Recreational Kayaks
Recreational kayaks should offer high performance in a broad range of environments and applications. Versatile and easy to use, they are typically 9 to 14 feet in length, have large; one size fits all cockpits, which ensures easy entry & exit for a variety of body shapes and sizes. Flat hulls provide excellent stability making Recreational Kayaks a perfect choice for first time paddlers, family use, cottage life, sunbathing and those who just want to quietly explore in calm conditions.
For families on a budget, recreational kayaking remains a great way to enjoy the timelessness of nature. Most people's first kayak is a recreational one. Kayaking continues to grow as a recreational and competitive sport.
Versatile and easy to use recreational kayaks are typically 9 to 14 feet in length. Kid-specific features include an oversized rear cockpit, complete with removable child's seat, a drink holder, and feeding tray. The cockpit is unconfining, yet still allows the boat to be responsive. With its oversized cockpit there is plenty of room for gear access, a small child, or even a tail wagging paddling partner.
A great option for recreational kayaking are the inflatable kayaks. They make great fishing boats, are excellent river runners (even in Class IV whitewater) and are just incredibly fun to float in on a beautiful Montana river. They are also very affordable. Good inflatables, with proper, care will last a decade. One other very important factor is that are extremely stable and easy to manage. All in all they are an excellent starting point for the wonderful recreation of kayaking.
 A fantastic addition to the range of recreational kayaks, although they are actually more like a canoe, are the transparent bottomed and indeed, totally transparent kayaks. Now, you can not only see where you're going, where you've been but what you are going over. In the clear waters of the Pacific you can travel over and inspect the coral reefs and watch the antics of the undersea creatures and even divers. Apart from really murky waters a whole new dimension is added to your kayaking adventures.
Camp overnight at that island you've always wanted to explore, head to the lake after work, or spend a Saturday floating down your favourite river. Kayaking for recreation began on rivers and lakes in the late 1800s.
Take a walk along any tidal marsh area in any coastal town, or walk down the dock at the local marina, and you’re sure to see one or even a dozen of them short, plastic, recreational kayaks lying ready for use, or being paddled over calm waters by happy paddlers.
