How To Select Your Perfect River Kayaks
The whole decision process is not complex. You just need to think what purpose would the kayak serve. The water body you'll use it on is significant, if you go for a smooth river you have one option, if you go for a narrow winding stream then you have another choice while if you go for a sea you have other option and the list grows. You must also think about the point of buying the canoe, family outings, downriver racing, slalom racing, day trips, overnite camping trips, or fishing.
There are various aspects you want to think about before buying a canoe. Some vital aspects you need to consider are noted below :
1. comfortable seat.
Look for good back and hip support, and take the canoe out for a try before buying. If the seat isn't cushty, you may regret later .
2. Cockpit or sit on top.
Sit on top kayaks are superb for noobs who fear being trapped in a cockpit, and for fishing. And they won't swamp if it rolls. Whereas, cockpit kayaks are great for those who loves wild currents flowing against them.
3. Fishing canoes.
Fishing kayaks should be 12 - 16 ft long and wide enough to be stable and as mentioned earlier, is better to have sit on top sitting arrangement.
4. Weight issue
The kayak for a 150 lb male may not be the right size for somebody 220lb. Weight is a vital issue for canoes as it is about stability.
5. Slalom kayak.
Also called whitewater canoes, these are shorter, with a tighter turning radius for navigating more "active" waters
6. Touring canoe.
Also called sea canoes and these are best for travel on open seas and lakes.
7. Experience matters.
Stick with the long established canoe manufacturers for the best tradeoffs of stability and performance.
8. Rent a kayak.
If you can hire different models, you may have a better feel for what works best for you. This is ideally one good idea before buying a canoe.
Kayaks are very private and I'll counsel you try many types in several conditions. For me, a season pass to a kayaking centre is the most cost effective approach because I do not have to store or transport the ship , I am able to use a new state of the art kayak every year and test many alternative designs.
I'm Alby Heart and River Kayaking is a big hobby for me. To know more about river kayaks, visit: http://www.squidoo.com/perfectriverkayak

Kayak $74.88 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles A kayak (sometimes generalised as a canoe) is a small humanpowered boat that traditionally has a covered deck, and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler who strokes a doublebladed paddle. The cockpit is covered by a spraydeck (skirt) that keeps the inside of the boat (and the paddlers lower body) dry. The spraydeck or similar waterproof covering attaches securely to the edges of the cockpit, preventing the entry of water from waves or spray, and making it possible, in some boats, to roll the kayak, capsizing and righting the boat without it filling with water or ejecting the passenger.
