Canoers and Kayakers believe in exploring regions where few other watercraft can go: coastal caves, narrow, shallow waterways, and rocky riverbeds. Paddlers are also attracted by faster-moving whitewater as well as by ocean kayaking, which provide a more extreme challenge. Gifts for Canoers and Kayakers reflect their passion for the water as well as their diverse interests and abilities.

Thousands of recreational boaters have a difficult time choosing between a kayak and canoe. There are plusses and minuses to both watercrafts. Most of your decision will lie with your planned use for the canoe or kayak. Fishermen going out in small groups will probably find kayaks to be of little use, while those who want to go bird watching will find kayaks to be a better choice.

Kayaks are very small and sleek, usually fitting only one or two people. You actually sit on the floor of the kayak making it less prone to tipping in high winds or white water rapids. Within a kayak, you are sitting facing forward with your legs stretched out in front of you towards the nose of the kayak. Kayaks are much quieter in the water making them popular choices for those who want to do some fishing or who plan to watch for wildlife along the way.

Kayaking or canoeing is a great way to relax and just about everybody can take up kayaking or canoeing whether you are young or old.

Kayaking caters for all types of needs and requirements whether it is for sport or recreation. You can buy sit on top kayaks for fun at the beach with the family, go kayak fishing, white water, or take the sport up as a professional racer. The cost of taking up kayaking can also be done on a budget as you can buy used kayaks for nominal amounts.

Performance and comfort on a river – Without doubt this is where Pelican kayaks comes into its own for speed, tracking and maneuverability.

The sit on top kayak does have a lovely sense of space as you are not enclosed in a cockpit and you really do feel at one with the river but that is probably because you are!

Performance and comfort at sea, the sit on top kayak has no equal. The surf conditions are what the Pelicans kayaks were built for. Due to its stability and angled bow it can flip up wave surfaces and off the lip all day long and you will never get tired of playing around in the surf on this boat. Maneuverability and control are very good in the waves even without using thigh straps.

Canoes are larger and can fit up to four people. You sit on small benches or can kneel on the floor. It is possible to change your position frequently providing you remain balanced to keep the canoe from tipping. Because they ride higher in the water, your gear is far more likely to remain dry providing the weather is nice and the water is relatively calm.

Priced pretty similarly, ultimately your decision is not going to be affected by the cost. It will all come down to the intended use.
