Choose This Kayak For: The stability and manageability of a recreational kayak, but with greater hull efficiency. A mixture of day trips and weekend adventures. Easier manoeuvrability than a longer touring or sea kayak. This kayak comes with a Venture Kayaks Hydrofoil Skeg for controlling direction in windy conditions. Skegs are tuneable and used to prevent weathercocking (boat turning due to the wind so you end up paddling on one side to go straight- this will vary depending on the wind strength and direction so having a skeg that is adjustable allows for great boat control) Skegs are simple and robust, low drag solutions. This is a great kayak for straight line paddling or for rough choppy water or surf.
