I'm looking for a kayak made for a heavier person. Any suggestions??

Question

I am 6'5" tall and weigh 270 lbs. Is there a kayak that is made for someone my size? Any information would be appreciated!!

Answer 1

Look around for a "Sit on top" of Kayak as you won't be restricted by a cockpit or spray skirt, or even an inflatable. One of the other answerers had some pretty good websites, so check them out, and good luck.

Answer 2

I was going to say, "Sorry, but the Titanic already sank," but that would be mean so I won't.

Answer 3

Are you loking for a sea kayak or a whitewater kayak?

For sea kayaks, many companies, like Durrent Designs, make high volume (HV) kayaks.  HV kayaks are designed for larger people.

Answer 5

Well, I dont know if this one would work.  But my BF has one and he is about 6'5 and 200 lbs.  It is the Old Town Otter XT.  It has a really wide opening on top. But at MOST you would be able to take it on a class 3 rapids.

Oh and the guy above me is an ASSS!
