For Comfortable, Entry-Level Touring, The Ripple Kayak is versatile, suitable for beginners and designed for long distances and gear. The Ripple is Paluski's most stable kayak, featuring one of the largest cockpits in the industry (48" x 18.5"), allowing the open feeling of a sit-on-top kayak without losing the comfortable seat or safe enclosure for three-season paddling. The cockpit is deeper than most kayaks, which will help keep you dry in windy conditions or from motorboat wakes. A roomy back hatch gives this boat storage space for camping and fishing gear and is easily turned into a watertight bulkhead as an upgrade. The V-shaped keel allows for good responsiveness out on the water and enables the Ripple to track straight in all water conditions, making this the perfect kayak for lake or river paddling with gear, or for those looking for a bit of extra stability. Also, the laminated polyethylene construction makes the hull virtually indestructible. Paluski Boats has been manufacturing high-quality and durable canoes, kayaks and paddles since 1980. Their boats are 100% Canadian-made. They provide a Limited Lifetime Warranty because they manufacture products they know will last.
