Q: I bought a brand new sit on it kayak today, it came with water inside, how did this happen and how do I get it out?

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: That should not be the case. You may want to check with the store. Perhaps it was a return from a previous customer. There should be a drain cap on the end of your kayak. Open that up and tip the kayak on its end to drain it.

The Little Red Kayak

5 years ago
Im a beginner so before i made my purchase, i did a lot if research. I'm 60 years young so i wanted something that i could handle. Since my purchase, i have been practicing in my pool. Its important to learn how to get in and out of the kayak in both shallow and deep water. This Kayak is easy yo manuver and i quickly learned how to move it about. My first trip out on the lake is in two weeks. I have obtained all my safety gear and have watched many videos on kayak safety. I'm super excited. I feel very comfortable on this kayak and cant wait to take it out.

Carry Friendly

8 days ago
I stand 5'10 and have the ability to walk 50 yards and carry the kayak with 1 arm. 40lbs at its dry weight. I appreciate the molded handle in the middle. I plan on getting an upgraded seat with thick cushion, my husband had no problem using what it came with. We were out on the water 3hrs. This is our third and final kayak; getting shorter everytime. This stands at 8.5 and fits perfectly ontop of my Toyota Land Cruiser.
