Whitewater Kayaks

There are a few differences between a kayak that is designed for whitewater excursions, and other designs like sea kayaks, sit on top kayaks, and recreational kayaks. Whitewater kayaks are typically much shorter in length and more rounded in certain spots. They are also small to increase the ease of movement while you are piloting down the river. There are many companies that can supply you with a quality whitewater kayak, two of such brands include Dagger and Perception.

A whitewater kayak is typically anywhere between four and ten feet in length, and is most likely formed from rotomold plastic. Rotomold is a very high impact plastic that can withstand hard bumps and scrapes. It is the most durable material that is used in the development of kayaks. Many recreational kayaks are also made of this material. However, not all whitewater kayaks are made of rotomold, some are made of a high impact fiberglass. This is what you will typically find with competition whitewater kayaks to increase speeds.

If you are looking for open water speed, do not buy a whitewater kayak. They are short and blunt, and are not great for propelling in a straight line with your paddle.

A good whitewater kayak can range in price from around $400 to exceed $900, depending on what you are looking for. If you just don't want to spend that kind of money up front, take some time and look through the classified ads. You may be able to find a good deal on a whitewater kayak that can get you started in the sport.

When you are looking for your whitewater kayak, make sure you can have it physically in front of you. You want to be able to look at all the little details of the boat. You want to see how the cockpit feels, and make sure that the size of the boat and the cockpit is going to accomodate your particular stature.

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.
