Written by: ggeneroso
Ocean Kayaking has been drawing the attention of water sport enthusiasts around the world. Well, this is no surprise because aside from the thrills and adventure of gliding along with the ocean waves, kayakers would also get the chance to explore the beauty of the ocean and see breathtaking sceneries.
It is amazing how such sport leads us to many explorations. However, simply riding a Kayak for exploration will never be fun without having the most suitable ocean kayak.
Here are some models of Kayaks designed for Ocean Kayaking.
Gulfstream Kayak
The Gulfstream Kayak represents a union between North America and Europe, since it is designed by the world famous designer and paddler Derek Hutchinson of Europe and designer Brian Henry of America.
If you want your Kayak to be highly maneuverable and you want it to dance with a tilt of the boat and the stroke of the paddle, Gulfstream is for you. Highly experienced paddler and beginners will enjoy using the Gulfstream. Features such as recessed deck fittings and boundary lines are standard on every Gulfstream. A retractable skeg is also present and is designed to add directional stability to the Kayak in adverse conditions, or when the paddler requires stiffer tracking.
Solstice GT
The Solstice GT has a very stable and predictable craft's hull that has a fine entry and exit, enabling the GT to slice effortlessly through the water. Solstice GT has an outstanding acceleration and excellent speed that is enjoyed by kayakers. It also has a nicely flared bow, which gives paddlers a dry ride and improve the performance of the boat in unfavorable conditions especially when loaded.
The GT is also available in high volume version. It accommodates larger paddlers and can suit someone who needs extra carrying capacity. The hull on the high volume (GTH) is 3/4" deeper, which gives additional space in the cockpit.
Sirocco
The Sirocco is a British style Kayak. If you are craving for performance yet you want a user-friendly boat, Sirocco is the one you are looking for.
The Sirocco has all the features of the composite version - a retractable skeg, recessed deck fittings, deck rigging, bulkheads, and hatch systems including a 7 ¾" hatch just behind the paddler for easy access.
Ocean Kayaking is a great sport. To begin with, choose the design that suits you and buy high quality kayak. Equip yourself with the best kayak. The ocean is waiting for you.
