Descriptions:
10 foot Inflatable Paddle Board is Stable and has a solid paddle that is better for beginners. Easier to turn, for smaller and beginner paddlers but not as fast.
12 foot 6 inch Inflatable Paddle Board is a little more stable for very tall folks, faster going straight with the trade off being a little longer for transport and slightly less maneuverable for turning. Better for larger paddlers and those looking for a performance board with speed to paddle, More speed on flat water means going straighter and farther. Performance paddle, lightweight but must be careful with it as it is not as durable.
Jackson Riviera Kayaks hold up to 300 pounds, are very stable and still maneuverable. Handles in the front and Back. Perfect for going across a lake and for rivers up to Class 2, and ideal for carrying a smaller child or dog. Weight: 58 pounds 2 nest inside of each other for easy transport 11 feet 4 inches long
Tandem Kayak SIt on Tops with a wheel on the back for rolling to the dock and back. Good back support, nice for crossing lakes. (If carrying a small child, then the Single Kayak Rivieras are stable and have room for a little one or dog.)
