![]() The sit ON is easier to get on and off of, as you just sit on a seat molded into the top surface. Our other 2 are sit ON kayaks: a one person Pelican brand, and a convertable 1 or 2 person Lifetime, which can also hold 2 adults and a smaller child between them. If it takes on too much, you need to pull it to a sandbar or shore, and drain it out. The hardest one we have to get into and out of, and if you tip it over, it takes on water. You sit below the water line, so occasionally my wife who has short arms, bumps her hands on the top edge of the hull when paddling. The sit IN ones I have seen, tend to have somewhat more comfortable seats, and your legs don't get sunburnt because the hull covers them. We do no white water or rocks, just lazily going down the river, sightseeing, or paddling around in a small lake. We have one of these, an Ascend brand, which is the most comfortable one we have for longer trips. Sit in is more what you think of traditionally for a kayak, your legs go into the hull of the boat, some even have a skirt that you snug up around you. My thoughts, and also repeating some advice I had gotten I have no reason to argue with.ΔΆ main kinds of kayaks: Sit ON, and Sit IN. Last year with the Covid shut downs, we got 3 kayaks while we still could, and went to the river (slow lazy river with sandbars ) and a couple small lakes/ponds. ![]() ![]() Guys/Gals, I know absolutely nothing about this subject and would really appreciate your tips and tricks on what to look for as a beginner. She has a weekend of experience on a two person craft at Lake Tahoe a few years back with our daughter, and is now interested in a single person kayak. would like to venture into kayaking, slow rivers and lakes/ponds for now.
