Emotion Sit Inside Kayaks

In a sit-inside kayak the paddler sits in the cockpit of the kayak with his/her legs under the deck. Most Emotion Kayaks? Sit-inside models come equipped with adjustable foot bracing and have large, oversized cockpit openings for easy entry and exiting.

Sit-inside kayaks are typically preferred by paddlers who want protection from the elements and a drier ride. The use of a spray skirt will prevent splashes, waves and rain from getting in the kayak and keep the paddler dry. Gear is stored below deck and accessed through the cockpit or hatches. Items can also be strapped or latched to the deck for easy access.

For safety reasons, a kayak certification would be preferred if you are keen on a Sit-inside kayak. In the event of a capsize, it is crucial that you know how to exit from the kayak and re-enter.

Emotion Sit On Top

Sit-on-top kayaks have similar hull shapes to their traditional counterparts, but instead of sitting inside the kayak, you sit on a molded-in depression on top. Some are fiberglass, but most are made from tough, inexpensive, rotationally molded plastic. Sit-on-top kayaks share many benefits with traditional sit-insides, but often are easier to use and less expensive. There are sit-on-top kayaks designed for fishing, surfing, touring, scuba diving and more. Some of these are considered specialty boats, but most sit-on-tops are built for multi-purposes and with recreational or beginning paddlers in mind.

Sit-on-top kayaks have a few advantages over sit-insides, one of which is comfort. Paddlers with large body types, long legs, or limited flexibility may feel less confined paddling a sit-on-top. One of the biggest benefits is the ability to do a self-rescue. Because sit-on-tops have an open deck rather than an enclosed one, there is less risk of being trapped in the boat if it tips over. With a sit-on-top kayak there is no need to practice Eskimo rolls or wet exits. That really appeals to new paddlers.

Emotion have a wide range of sit on tops, check them out and let me know if you are keen. Get in touch before mid-March and you can enjoy the introductory pricing Very Happy Very Happy
