Trail Mix - Krazy for Kayaks
Welcome to Trail Mix, a Zip-lock bagful of VO-related fun facts, links and puzzlers,
served up fresh with every issue of Contours. Look for helpful information on everything outdoors
along with other interesting tidbits that enhance your awareness and well-being (and your funny bone too).
So many to choose from...
Did you know that there are many different kinds of kayaks? Depending on the kind of kayaking you
prefer, there's a kayak out there to meet your needs.
The kind of kayak you want depends on a few factors:
1. The kind of boating you will be doing
2. Your experience as a paddler
3. Portability and weight
4. Passenger/Cargo capacity and comfort
5. Initial and final stability
6. Controllability
7. Available Options
8. Price
(Information derived from Kayak Online)
The kind of kayaks we have at Kayak
Pittsburgh have rigid structures, which are perfect for flatwater
kayaking. They are very stable, easy for beginners, and come in
both solo and tandem (double-seater) varieties.
Visit one of our local outfitters for more information.
