Fun with it

Most kayaks are built for one paddler, some are built for two. The one-man kayak is easy to maneuver. The two-man kayak has more space for cargo. Every kayak should firm seating and be the right size for the paddler’s legs. Often when a small kayak is preferred, as for playboating, the kayak isn’t much larger than the person using it. Whatever the need or preference, a kayak can be found to fit it in a choice of rigid, folding or inflatable kayak. Kayaking purists don’t approve of a kayak with a rudder.

Others like the steerablity that it affords. For the hobbyist, there’s nothing wrong with using a sea kayak with a rudder or other steering help. Again, there’s a choice of rudder or not in rigid, folding and inflatable kayak. All three types of kayak are durable, even the inflatable kayak is made to last for years. Portability is greater for the folding and the inflatable kayak. As for price, in a comparison of models with similar purpose and features, the inflatable kayak is usually the least expensive. Of course, used kayaks and online auctions can result in great bargains.
