Choosing a kayak is similar to choosing a
canoe.
A Kayak and a Canoe both move
on water powered by a paddle; and both are used
for similar activities.
There are several differences between a
kayak and a canoe.
A double-bladed paddle is used to power a
kayak, allowing for easier correction and extra
speed. The paddler is closer to the water,
which provides better stability. A
kayak's design allows for a narrower, lighter
craft.
Like canoes, it is important to remember that no
single kayak can do everything. Choosing
the right kayak starts with thinking honestly
about what activities and expectations you have
about owning a kayak. There are a lot of
designs out there and some will fit your needs
and planned activities much better than others.
Perhaps it might help to break down your
intended usage into percentages, such as 80%
lake paddling, 10% fishing, 10% ocean day trips,
etc..
Kayak Types
We've organized our line of kayaks into four
distinct categories to help you decide which is
best for you:
Recreation Kayak
Designed for family play and fun. A
quality general consumer recreational kayak will
offer a safety factor with built-in flotation.
A good recreational kayak manufacturer will
offer economical kayaks with engineered designs
to handle flexibility in paddling style by
non-instructed users. Designed
for pounds and lakes. Avoid wasting money
on the cheaply made kayaks that fade and age
quickly; looking like toys and providing the
user with little or no performance; resulting in
a unused kayak.
Recreational Touring Kayak
These versatile kayaks offer good stability and
improved tracking and efficiency. Large open
cockpits permit easy entry and exit, and allow
you to stretch your legs as well as stow your
gear. Recreational Touring kayaks are a great
choice for sportsmen, or simply an enjoyable way
to get the family on the water.
Day Touring Kayak
Day Touring kayaks are designed to efficiently
cover long distances and carry large amounts of
gear. This sleek class of kayak, fits the needs
of kayak campers, those taking longer day trips
and paddling large bodies of water. More
technical than recreational kayaks, their
decreased initial stability and maneuverability
allows for increased secondary stability and
speed.
Sporting Kayak
Old Town has introduced the Predator Series to
give serious hunters and fishermen a kayak
specifically designed for sporting use.
Lightweight and extremely stable, they're packed
with features to make life easier and more
enjoyable on hunting, and fishing excursions.

Destination charge is the amount the kayak maker
charges the dealer to deliver a new kayak or
water craft from the factory. The charge
is based on crating costs, handling cost and
freight charges. This charge can vary
among makers as well as among different models.
In many cases an unavoidable cost.
However, this additional cost is very economical
for the buyer, considering the total costs of
traveling to the maker to pick up the watercraft
and return it home. Consider the Total
Cost Of Transporting On Your Own, Would Include
Fuel, Food, Boarding, Time Consumption, And More
Overhead Expenses.
