• Hardshell kayaks - for navigating swift moving rivers with rapids and obstacles.
• Inflatable kayaks - for large bodies of calm water as well as whitewater rivers.
• Fishing kayaks - these have become extremely popular recently.
• Folding kayaks - easy to transport with excellent performance.

From there, kayaks can be further classified by their design and materials, creating different advantages in performance, maneuverability, stability, and paddling style.

These whitewater kayaks can be made of carbon fiber, fiberglass, wood, plastic, and inflatable fabrics such as PVC or rubber. Each has its own strength, durability, portability, flexibility, resistance to ultraviolet, and storage requirements.

For example, we offer inflatable kayaks for sale that are made from lightweight fabric, can be deflated and easily transported and stored, and are remarkably tough and durable.

And of course, there is always the option of an inflatable packraft kayak. These boats are perfect for accessing remote backcountry rivers and lakes.

Easiest Kayak to Get In and Out Of?

When it comes to ease of getting in and out of a kayak, the perception may vary depending on individual preferences and physical abilities. However, kayaks with a wide and open cockpit design or sit-on-top kayaks are generally considered easier for entry and exit. They provide more space and accessibility, allowing for a smoother and less restrictive experience.
