Ocean Kayak Yak Board Kayaks Review

Ocean Kayak Yak Board


Description
Designed as a surf boat, the Yak Board turns on a dime, yet its super stability and lightness also make it ideal for beginners or children of all ages. Short length makes it easy to carry and stow almost anywhere--at the condo, or even inside a van. Comfortable molded-in seat well and foot wells. Molded-in cooler holder in the rear and a water bottle holder centered in front allow you to take along a picnic. Includes self-bailing scupper holes, accessory eyelets, molded-in side carrying handles and bow and stern toggle handles.

Summary:
The yak board is excellant for begginer sit on top surfers. It is good for clean moderate swell with its forgiving design easily catching any hint of a wave, once on the wave the yak board will take off with good speed, with its forgiving design making it capable of modest carving.
unfortunately for more experienced paddlers wanting bigger swell and more radical carves the bulky design makes it incredibly difficult to "get out back" through larger messy surf...the yak boards virtues for begginers can become drawbacks for more intermediate to advanced paddlers.
Excellant for begginer sit on top surfers and general beach surf but not recommeded for intermediate/advanced level.
