Canoes and Kayaks for Children

Junior Specific Kayaks

Most kayaks, whether they are closed cockpit or sit-on-top models, are designed for larger/adult paddlers with sufficient space and carrying capacity. Children can perhaps 'make do' with some adult kayaks but they are far from ideal. Boat manufacturers and designers are aware that children need kayaks made specifically for their size. Not only to ensure a proper fit, but also to allow good boat control, learn skills correctly, progress quickly and most importantly enjoy their paddling.
