What’s the difference between a kayak and a canoe?
The age-old question… what really is the difference between a kayak and a canoe? Despite the fact that many use the two words interchangeably, there is actually a rather clear distinction, as the boats and gear are different. At first glance, canoes tend to be open-top. The rowers kneel or sit inside (typically on small benches) and propel themselves forward using only a single-bladed paddle. In contrast, kayaks are closed-deck, meaning there’s just one hole in the middle for pilots to climb into and sit in. The kayaker sits with their legs stretched out in front, and drives themselves forward, back, or to the side, using a double-bladed paddle.
A kayak tends to be lower, so you’ll be much closer to the water than if you were to paddle in a canoe. Most kayakers also wear a spray deck, to prevent any unwanted water entering the hole of their boat. Before taking your vessel out solo, make sure you feel comfortable about potentially rolling out, in the event of an emergency. If you capsize, you may need to do so underwater.
What kayak styles do we offer?
Of all our kayaks for sale, the majority are inflatable. If you’re weighing up the options for affordable, lightweight, and transportable models, these blow-up examples truly deliver when it comes to versatility and convenience. Their two or three layers of fabric only lend themselves to increased durability, providing extra protection against punctures or general wear-and-tear. Separate inflation chambers mean that if, for some reason, you do experience a rip, it will solely be contained to that one individual compartment.
Hard-shell kayaks (also known as rigid kayaks), on the other hand, are usually constructed from wood, plastic, fibreglass, and composite materials, such as Kevlar. They tend to be rather hefty bits of kit, weighing in at roughly 25kg. When it comes to safety, the type of vessel you’re using has to be strong enough to withstand the waters you are navigating. As such, hard-shell models are often the preferred choice of kayaks online, but certain inflatable alternatives are incredibly secure, too.
