With a life vest for padding they are very comfortable. The kayak seat and leg posts are also very easy to adjust for size and comfort. My kayak has a large opening so my legs are not constricted under much of the top. My little buddy Murphy (15 LB dog) loves the open space and rides everywhere with me.
I tried many canoes and the only thing I noticed is many of the advanced plastic ones do not have a center keel and are less stable. A fiberglass canoe has a keel that lets it track better and not drift as much in cross winds. Our canoe is only 12 feet long (plenty for a cooler, 2 paddlers, and Murphy. |
Wonderful photo, that really made me smile. Thank you.
