More Information
This is a great option for teenagers, smaller adults, and double kiddo kayakers! Built on a twin tunnel hull, this sit-on-top kayak is easy to maneuver and offers superior stability on the water, meaning more safety for your kids! It features molded footrests, an adjustable Ergoform G2™ padded backrest, a paddle, self-bailing scupper holes and a bottle holder. Little adventurers will enjoy fun and comfortable rides on the lake in this kayak!
Our sit-on-top kayaks mean that you sit on top of the cockpit rather than sitting inside. We chose this version as these kayaks are a little wider and more stable for recreational use. They are also human powered, so they promote a healthy leisure option with little impact to the environment.
Please note: all kayakers are required to wear a Transport Canada Approved PFD. We will have PFDs free of charge available for those who don’t bring their own.
