Hawaii kayaks

[JoshPosh]

Alright, I've never had the pleasure of using these when I use to go camping with my family back in the day. I think it would be fun. No longer do I have to climb over rocks to get to isolated areas on the rocky shore. I can just bypass the entire point. I can even bring my dog with me, and it has a beer holder.

Oh yea, I think those are called ocean kayaks? The main difference being that they are open instead of being closed off around the legs. Around where I live it is mainly lakes and rivers and when I go camping I see the other type of kayak a lot more often. When I've been to the beach in Florida I saw these things everywhere for using in the ocean but honestly I do not think it makes much difference. I find that with the closed kayaks, you don't get as wet but they can be a real pain when you need to get water out or clean them.

This is a picture of a closed kayak:

Hmm,,......I don't see a a beverage (beer) holder. I think I'll stick with the one that does. hahahah

Well I find that the open ones are a bit more comfortable and easier to get into without cramping your legs. And if you are going to be sipping a beer and lounging on the lake (or ocean), it sounds like comfort is what you're after!

I think the open top will be more user friendly to new people with no experience. The closed top is more for rough waters and open top for cruising around
