We’ve all watched (and laughed at) friends, children, paddlers and our parents getting into and out of kayaks. It is an inelegant and undignified process at the best of times. Not being able to get out unassisted can also be a barrier that restricts and prevents would-be paddlers from taking up and enjoying the sport of paddling.
Our recreational sit-on-tops – with the exception of the Marimba – feature a stand-up platform that makes it easier to get up from the seat. The bottom of the platform is flat so that you can place your feet securely on the broad, flat surface. And, as our sit-on-tops are beautifully stable, you can actually stand up before stepping onto land – gracefully.
Our kayaks have sufficient stability that you can stand up on this platform while out on the water – that is if you have a dash of stability yourself. This is useful to stretch your legs or get a height advantage to look ahead. Standing up on your kayak also makes for fun photos and is a cool ‘party trick’.
Although we’ve designed this stand-up platform so that our moms and dads can enjoy paddling without worrying about how they are going to get off the water, you’ll appreciate it too.
