What type of water would you use to kayak?
Fast river waters require shorter kayaks, while sea kayaks typically require longer boats.
What type of kayaking do you plan to do?
Are you looking for something good for speed? For fishing? For navigating rapids? Depending on what you’re after, the shape of your ideal kayak will change.
How do you plan to store, transport, and launch the kayak?
If you live in an apartment with limited storage space, or drive a smaller car, this may be a factor in the size of the kayak you can accommodate.
How many people and how much gear are you taking?
If you are kayaking for two, or if you plan to fish or hunt, it affects the type of kayaking you need.
