"It is really important that you choose the kayak that fits you, your size as well what you are going to use it for. This here is actually a kids boat designed for a really small person. It is really great the industry is starting to make kids boats there are several manufactures that are making them. So when I started there was never a boat this size so it would been great to start with. So you can see this is designed for a really small person and the other boats here are designed for a little bit bigger person. So do you want to go paddling on a lake or do you want to go down the river or do you want to go over a big waterfall and catch big airs. These are all questions you have to answer for yourself and each boat is designed for a particular person in mind. For example this boat here this is a river runner it is the larger the series of the larger river runner so it is designed for a larger person. I my self would be to small for this style boat so you have to figure out your weight range and your size and what you want to accomplish. These boats are all determined by the volume which is measured in gallons and it is usually if you imagine filling the boat with water how many gallons would be in there. That is how they are sort of sized or determined size. Again you want to think about your purpose and also comfort. If your which I'm 5'4 this boat may work for you. If you are 6'4 you are probably to big and if you are a size 13 feet you may not fit into it you have to see what works for you."
