The Venus 11.0 is the first sit-on-top specifically designed for women with larger than average frames.

Venus seat well maximizes an otherwise narrow beam to accommodate both fuller hips and shorter arms
Seat well is high for a dry ride, since a woman's low center of gravity does not require a deep seat for stability
Padded Comfort Plus™ seat has an adjustable back for ache-free days on the water
Well-balanced, light design with perfectly placed carry handles allow those with less upper-body strength to move the Venus with ease
Store keys and other belongings in the 6 in. cam lock hatch with storage bucket
Molded-in tank well with adjustable gear straps, deck rigging and multiple accessory eyelets provide convenient options to stow and secure accessories
Car-topping handle in cockpit helps you control the kayak while lifting it onto your vehicle
Rounded-V hull tracks well and turns easily
Self-bailing scupper holes minimize water in boat
Durable, linear polyethylene construction stands up to years of use
Includes bow and stern toggle handles, a threaded drain plug and molded-in graphics
Boat works great for surfing, camping, nature watching, fishing, day paddling and photography on flat water to moderate ocean swells and slow rivers
To manage water flooding through scupper holes, Scupper Stoppers are available (sold separately); the Venus 11 requires five Large Scupper Stoppers

Made in USA.

Comments about Ocean Kayak Venus 11.0 Sit-on-Top Kayak:

Hands down this is the best kayak for fun! It is well-designed and beautiful.Easy to get in and out of while in the water. We try standing on top for fun!Only bad thing is that the seat has NO BACK SUPPORT. So.....buy a support belt from Ocean kayak (about $50-60) or a new seat. I love my kayak!

Gift:
No

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
