Design Features
Soft Chine: A smooth transition from the bottom of the hull to the sides. Soft chines give smooth edging at unlimited angles. The majority of kayaks that we build have a soft chine.
Shallow Arch: These have good initial stability and are highly maneuverable.
Touring Cockpit: Touring cockpits are somewhat small to help resist imploding of the spray skirt if hit by a large wave in rough water. They include built-in thigh braces on the cockpit rim to maximize control when edging and rolling. They range from 29” to 35” long, depending on the model.

| Kayak Category | Shape | Type of Water | Stability | Fit | ||||
| Recreational - Sit Inside | Short and Wide, 10'-14' | Small Lakes and Shallow Rivers | Good | Comfortable; sizeable | ||||
| This is the most popular style in our area. Stable, maneuverable, user-friendly and have easy entry cockpits that fit almost anyone comfortably. Designed for first time paddlers and outdoor enthusiasts who like to combine their on-water pleasures with other pursuits such as bird watching, fishing and photography. | ||||||||
| Recreational - Sit-On-Top | Short and Wide, 10'-13' | Smaller Lakes | Good | Comfortable; sizeable | ||||
| Sit on tops are very stable, easy to get in and out of and there is no feeling of confinement. They're also self-bailing, which means they have small holes (called "scupper holes") that allow the water to drain right through them. You do drip water on your legs as you paddle. These are most popular in warm water climates. | ||||||||
| Transitional | Narrower, 12'-14' | Bigger Lakes and Moving Water | 3-4 | Medium Size | ||||
| Transitional Kayaks bridge the gap between Recreational and Touring categories, combining the best elements from both. Like Recreational designs, they are short and somewhat wide. They favor stability on calm waters and easy turning over speed. White the cockpits are a bit smaller than Recreational cockpits, they are still quite roomy for easy access. | ||||||||
| Performance Touring | Long and Slender | All Water | 2-3 | Fully Connected | ||||
| Performance Designs are good for all distances, expeditions and skill mastery. | ||||||||
| North American Style If you want a stable kayak with some serious capacity, a seat back and a rudder. | ||||||||
| British Style If you want a snug-fitting, playful kayak with smooth edging, graceful lines, a day hatch, a back band and a skeg. | ||||||||
| Greenland Style If you want a tight-fitting, hard-edging kayak with an old school look, serious rolling ability, a back band and a skeg. | ||||||||
| Danish Style Stylish, snug-fitting hybrid of Greenland and North American hulls with Danish style. | ||||||||
| Specialty Kayaks | ||||||||
| Boats made for unique situations and unique goals. | ||||||||
