One of the oldest watercrafts known to man is a flat boat, which is neither a canoe nor kayak. Used by Polynesians to travel a thousand years ago from island to island and face storms and high seas. These modern Sit On Tops are ideally suited as rental craft because a novice can paddle it and it can easily be reboarded.
Both models are constructed of super strong sandwich like material outer hull and heavy duty polyester decks. Inner hull made of heavy duty cold resistant pvc material with double I-beam electronically welded seams. Comes with a mesh carrying/dive bag and seat/seats.
Note: Recommended accessories are #640, #74B, #64 Kayak Paddles; #304T, #300P, #204IB, RB2500 pumps; and various inflators; PFD 995/996. Comes with a repair kit.

I have tried this in the surf on the Oregon coast in mild 1-3ft waves. Very fun, catch a lot of waves, stay out of the cold water.

This kayak is great if you are looking for ease of use and portability. We have a boat and this kayak is very easy to stow. It inflates within 5 minutes using a standard foot pump (not included). It is double lined and one can tell that if properly cared for, will last a long time. Once inflated it extremely stable and easy to board (you can just about stand on top of it). My husband and I have used it several times already without a problem. Even my 5 year old daughter enjoys paddling with mom. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a kayak that can be easily stowed and inflated with easy maneuverability. The kayak actually fits in the bag that it came with (when does that ever happen?)I can also say that I shopped around and Leisure Pro has the best price and best service around! Also as a note it should say that it comes with 3 skegs.
I bought this product first because of its price. I live in Europe and the best price in euros I could get was more than double of the one I actually paid on the website.
Otherwise it is very easy to inflate, stable and easy to maneuver. I particularly appreciate the fact that you can just sit on it and let your legs in the water when you want to relax and refresh, and also get the seat down flat and lay completely on the board.
I used it this summer during 3 weeks on a big lake and a river, and it was a lot of fun, and way less expensive than if I should have rented a kayak as often as I used it.
