Don't want a boat that you'll outgrow after the fourth outing? The Emotion Glide kayak offers a blend of stability, control and comfort that will take you from first stroke to seasoned veteran.

  • Beginners will love the confidence-inspiring initial stability and lightweight responsiveness of the Glide
  • As you progress, the V-shaped hull offers tracking and performance that will sharpen your skills and enhance your experience
  • Short length and light weight allows kayak to be transported by the solo paddler
  • Specially compounded rotomolded polythylene hull resists abrasion and UV light, and it offers good looks at a great value
  • Large cockpit opening makes it easy to get into the boat with some extra gear, and recessed coaming maximizes paddle stroke area (spray skirt not included)
  • Dual-density foam seat and back rest offer padded comfort from launch until takeout; adjustable footbraces keep you poised to paddle
  • Seat adjusts forward and backward using a strap and pull tab; back rests features an adjustable angle and folds down during storage
  • Fore and aft deck rigging keeps essential gear within easy reach, and paddle holder secures paddle when you need both hands
  • Stern flotation bag enhances safety and makes it easy to handle a water-logged boat
  • Toggled carry handles ease transport to the water

Made in USA.

    Comments about Emotion Kayaks Glide Kayak:

    I live on Richardson Bay in the San Francisco area. I paddle around the Bay to Sausalito and Angel Island. This is easy to paddle and lift. The opening is large enough that I can take my 3 year old grandson with me. I use it with relatively flat water and a few swells. Perfect beginner kayak.
