To get you started, here are the most important things to keep in mind as you choose your next sit on kayak.
Intended Use
The very first thing to consider before you buy a kayak is what you intend to use it for. As you can imagine, if your primary goal is to go out on a short afternoon paddle around the lake, your ideal boat is going to be different from someone looking to go on overnight fishing trips.
Once you have an idea of what you’d like to use your boat for, you can start to narrow down your different options based on their various features and designs.
