Related Expert Advice articles
What hull type is best for you?
- Planing: Maneuverable and rides on top of the water—great for leisure paddling, surfing, SUP yoga and whitewater.
- Displacement: Efficient for longer distances and speed; less maneuverable than planing hulls.
- Hybrid: Combines aspects of planing and displacement hulls to cut through water easily with more stability.
Solid or inflatable SUP?
- Inflatable: Budget-friendly, easy to store and travel with; good for paddling whitewater and SUP yoga.
- Solid: Best performance—fast, smooth and more stable with less effort. Requires plenty of storage and a way to transport it.
Sizing your board
- Volume, weight capacity and thickness affect stability. Factor in cargo and passengers when figuring weight capacity.
Length: Longer boards are generally faster than shorter ones but less maneuverable.
Width: Wider boards are more stable than narrow ones, but can be slower and more difficult to paddle.
Standard or inflatable personal flotation device (PFD)?
- Standard: Low-maintenance, always buoyant, great for various sports, often with pockets. Can feel bulky, restrictive and hot while paddling.
- Inflatable: Slimmer profile, comfortable, but must be inflated to work and requires more maintenance.
- Hybrid: Balances features of both, but heftier price.
What conditions will you encounter?
- Level 50: For competent swimmers and high-mobility activities (kayaking, paddle boarding), where quick rescue is expected.
- Level 70: For calm, inland waters where fast rescue is likely.
- Level 100: For rough or remote waters or offshore where rescue may lag.
Finding the right fit
- Try on PFDs over paddling clothes for the best fit.
- Mimic paddling motions.
- Test with your seat to see if it's comfortable. Kayakers may prefer a shorter PFD.
- If possible, test your PFD in a pool or shallow water; it shouldn't ride up while floating.
Where in the boat do you want to sit?
- Sit-in kayaks move fast, track straight with covered cargo compartments. Good for paddling to a destination and in cooler conditions.
- Sit-on-top kayaks are easy to get on, self-draining and less confining. Best for easy flowing waters and warmer conditions.
What category of kayak is best for you?
- Recreational: Affordable, stable, easy to use and simple to turn. Best for shorter outings.
- Day touring: Sleeker and more efficient. Easier to transport and handle than touring models but often pricier.
- Touring: Ideal for long distances, tracks and handles wind and currents well with more storage—but at higher cost.
- Specialty: Includes folding, inflatable, tandem and pedal-powered models. Great for limited storage or specific activities like fishing.
Where do you want to paddle?
- Calm waters (lakes): Any sit-on-top or recreational sit-in kayak is a fun choice.
- Flowing rivers (no technical rapids): Choose a short, stable recreational or day-touring model.
- If dealing with wind, waves, currents and tides: Look for a sit-in touring kayak with a rudder or fin. A sit-on-top is a good choice if you don’t mind getting wet.
