Kayaks Are Now Available In Two
Basic Body Types - The Traditional
Kayak, With An Enclosed Deck, And The Sit-Atop,
Where The User Sits On Top Of The Deck.
The Following Is Offered As A Brief Introduction
Into Kayaks
Traditional
Kayak

In the
traditional kayak design, a user sits inside the kayak.
A traditional kayak is enclosed with a deck. An
opening in the deck where the user sits, is called the kayak's cockpit.
The rim of the cockpit opening may provide a lip for attaching a
watertight cockpit-skirt. The proper intended
use of a cockpit-skirt is to seal water out and prevent it
from entering the cockpit; thereby keeping the kayaker warm
and dry, along with keeping any cockpit contents dry and
away from the environment elements.

Advantage
There are several advantages related to the traditional kayak design.
First, added protection for the kayaker, and stowed
gear; second, superb aerodynamics; third, more stowage
capacity. The kayaker sits inside the kayak
thereby offering more protection than sitting on top
where the kayaker is more exposed to wind, and splash.
The kayaker may choose to seal the cockpit using a kayak-skirt,
for additional aerodynamics, and to seal out the wind,
water and environment elements.
A Kayak-skirt is highly recommended for paddling through
waves and rough water.
Enclosed Deck
Kayaks Now Come In Many Difference Designs
There
are many types and styles of kayaks on the
market today; from toys to serious high-end
performance for a specific application. First
there is the specific intended
application purpose of a design which determines
a kayak's type. Then there are

kayak, just like there are many vehicle types
and styles.

Leading Technology, High-Quality Kayaks Are
Actually Affordable
Casanova's Basic Rule Is To Avoid Kayaks Built
Poorly. In the world kayak marketplace,
the price of a kayak is no gauge to measure the
quality of design or construction. We
search the world markets constantly for midrange
to high-end products that are backed by
technology, quality, value and good customer and
dealer support from the manufacturer.
We have discovered the best built kayaks are
actually cheaper than most other well built
kayaks with major design flaws. For
example, when purchasing a kayak, reach inside
and feel for the desk fittings. If you can feel
the bolt, then move on to the next model or
marker. Yes those fittings may be or
may not be fasten at the factory to be
watertight. However, in the real world of on
water environments, those fittings will be
vibrated, which causes leaks; plain simple fact
of physics. Avoid kayaks with drilled
through holes in the deck with exposed fittings
inside. these are simply poorly built
kayaks.
Sit-Atop Kayak

Sit-Atop Kayaks
basically, have one common design, in which the
kayaker sits in a fully exposed cockpit, which
is simply molded into the top deck of the kayak.
There are many types of sit-atop kayak with
specific intended application purposes.
New designs offer style and user comfort; some
even offering cargo carrying capacity for
portage bags, kayak drybags, and SCUBA gear.
Quality built Sit-Atops will offer engineered ergonomic
sitting and overall design. Casanova's
only carries kayaks that meet the highest
standards we set ourselves, which must include
engineered designed backed by real research and
development. Kayaks engineered for user
comfort and efficient hull designs, are built to
maximize stability while improving paddling speed.

of the Sit-Atop Kayaks Are Actually Designed For
A Wide Range OF Users By Offering A Stable
