Q: Difference between square back and pointed back

6 days ago
1 Answer
  • A: The difference between a square-back (flat transom) and a pointed-back (traditional) kayak or canoe design comes down to how you plan to power the vessel, its hull tracking, and its overall water efficiency.

Q: Can this be strapped on top of a ford EcoSport. Very small suv

a month ago
2 Answers
  • A: Thank you for your question. The Lifetime Hydros kayak has an overall length of approximately 8 ft. 5 in. and a product weight of about 40 lb. Transport on the roof of a Ford EcoSport may be possible, provided the vehicle is equipped with a roof rack or crossbar system rated to support the kayak’s weight and dimensions. Compatibility will depend on the vehicle manufacturer’s roof load limits as well as the specifications of the installed rack system and tie-down equipment. Please refer to the Ford EcoSport owner’s manual and the roof rack manufacturer’s guidelines to verify safe transport capacity and proper securing procedures before use.

Q: I purchased a used kayak and noticed there holes in the bottom with no plugs. Should there be plugs for the holes?

3 years ago
1 Answer
  • A: The holes in your kayak are called scuppers. Scupper holes let the water that has splashed into your sit on top kayak drain out, keeping you drier than you would be if you had no holes. Here is a video that explains how they work: https://youtu.be/A55nWxM3CMs

Newbie to Kayaking

23 days ago
So far this kayak has been wonderful for me. No issues in the water and it’s easy to use. The paddle that comes with it is a bit heavy so I have purchased a lighter weight one. Of all good kayak for the money.
