The perfect entry point into the world of recreational kayaking, the 8-Foot Yak Board sit-on-top recreational kayak is fun and stable in calm water and surf alike. The kayak is made of medium-density polyethylene, a virtually indestructible material that's somewhat flexible (so it doesn't crack), but also maintains its stiffness thanks to Ocean Kayak's compound curves.
The Yak Board sit-on-top kayak is safe for use in both calm water and surf. |
The materials are complemented by a California-form tri-hull design, which includes a long center keel area that encourages boats to track straight when paddling and coasting. The result? A kayak that steers well and is easy to control on the waves regardless of whether you're just starting out or are an experienced paddler. The kayak's unique sit-on-top design, meanwhile, allows you to enter and exit the kayak easily from the shore, dock, or water. In a sit-on-top kayak, you can safely enjoy all the pleasures of kayaking without having to learn difficult self-rescue maneuvers.
The Yak Board is also outfitted with a large molded-in seat well to keep you secure, along with molded-in foot wells that provide a comfortable foot position for just about any size paddler. Other construction details include a gear strap that allows you to secure items to the deck of the boat; self-bailing drain holes in the cockpit; and a molded-in cupholder. The Yak Board comes in sunrise and yellow colors.
