Sit-on-top kayaks are exactly what they say – kayaks that you sit on top of! No climbing in and out of a cockpit, simply perch into the molded-in depression on top. Sit-on-tops are excellent for family fun and/or a leisure paddle. They are also often times more accommodating to those with large body types, long legs, or limited flexibility.
