There are two main types of kayaks, the inflatable kayak and therigid kayak. For optimal practice of this much-loved nautical activity, Feelfree offers you high-quality rigid kayaks. Sail with the best possible kayaks by choosing one of our rigid kayaks.
Why choose a rigid kayak?
Choosing a rigid kayak over an inflatable kayak is necessary for several reasons. The rigid kayak has more advantageous technical characteristics for navigation, which makes it a more efficient boat for competitions in particular. Its rigid hull allows it to be less exposed to the effects of the wind, unlike the inflatable kayak which is much lighter. A rigid kayak is therefore easier to control than an inflatable kayak. It allows more precise navigation, and one might dare to say less floating.
Furthermore, the fact of having a stable structure allows therigid kayakto ensure better security for those who use it. A rigid kayak does not turn over as easily as an inflatable kayak, especially since the underside of rigid kayaks is perfectly designed to allow the kayaker to maintain maximum balance on the water.
Just because a kayak has a rigid hull does not necessarily mean it is heavy to handle. Our different models of rigid kayaks are proof of this, thanks to their hulls that are as light as they are resistant.
Finally, in addition to its exceptional robustness, a rigid kayak requires very little maintenance compared to an inflatable kayak. You won't need to rinse it, dry it or take it apart after using it.
