Descriptions:
10 foot Inflatable NRS Paddle Board is slower but easier to turn. Good for beginners as they have a heavier paddle that is more forgiving to a little abuse.
12 foot 6 inch Inflatable Kialoa Paddle Board is a little more stable for taller people and 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 more speed on flat water going straighter and farther. Lightweight fiberglass paddle.
Jackson Riviera and Staxx Kayaks hold up to 325 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. Weight: 58 pounds 2 to 3 nest inside of each other for easy transport 11 feet 4 inches long and 10 feet 6 inches long
Tandem Kayak Sit on Top Style Tandem, nice for stability and swimming while crossing lakes.
