Bio:	Both hardshell and inflatable [url=http://www.belispace.com/kayak/]kayak[/url]s can be categorized into two different styles: Sit-on-top kayak (SOT) and Sit-in kayak (SIT) The two designs differ drastically from one another, and each suits a different purpose. The differences between sit-on-top vs. sit-in kayaks The most apparent distinction between sit-inside and sit-on-top inflatable kayaks (& hardshell models) is that SIKs have an enclosed cockpit that positions the paddler inside the boat at or below the water level. In contrast, [url=http://www.belispace.com/kayak/sot-kayak/]SOT kayak[/url]ers sit on top of the kayak above the water’s surface. This fundamental divergence of design affects every aspect of their use and purpose. The sit-on-top model is the most popular design among beginners and recreational kayakers because it does not make the paddler feel like they are trapped inside of the kayak’s cockpit if they capsize. If they do tip over for some reason, they are far easier to reen The sit-inside model is more prevalent among intermediate and advanced paddlers because its design provides a significantly lower center of gravity, resulting in enhanced secondary stability during specific activities (which I’ll talk about later). The cockpit of a SIK kayak is surrounded by a rim for attaching a spray skirt to keep water out. [b]They have similarities as well[/b] Even though there are some significant differences between the two styles, their main parts are similar: The top of the kayak is called the deck, where you’ll often have bungees or deck lines. The bottom is the hull. The front is the bow. The back is the stern. Both types of kayaks have: A seat (or seats in case of tandem kayaks). Foot support like simple footwells or adjustable foot pedals (which are more comfortable on a full day of paddling). Top of the line kayaks will additionally have a built-in backrest to make paddling for hours more comfortable. [b]The pros and cons of sit-inside & sit-on-top kayaks[/b] [b]Sit-Inside kayak pros[/b] The most significant advantage of a sit-inside kayak is that its center of gravity is lower than that of a sit-on-top kayak, which provides better secondary stability. This enables you to lean the boat on its side edge for more efficient turning and stay upright in rough seas. There is a trade-off, though, which I’ll get to in the cons section. Because sit-inside kayaks have a lower center of gravity, they can be made much narrower than a sit-on-top model. Being slimmer and longer means they are faster and easier to paddle than SOT kayaks, making them well suited for longer trips. The lower profile also means that sit-inside kayaks are affected by wind to a lesser extent. The enclosed cockpit provides protection from the sun or rough water.
