I am going kayaking for the first time. Its going to be a few of us.?

Question

There are quite a few plus sized girls. Will they fit in the kayak? Any tips for them? Any expieriances? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!

Answer 1

I have a touring kayak with a capacity of 350 lb,s. And a large c**k pit so it should not be a problem if you get the right boat. Many place,s rent boat,s for larger paddler,s. The hardest part will be in entering the boat. You can use your paddle as a stabilizer. Just lay it behind the cockpit reach behind you and old it in place. With the longest portion to the shore and with it on the ground . You hold it in place while entering the boat it make,s it stable. Don't lean to much on the paddle though as it may bend and break. If a person is in good shape and can bend and kneel and squat there is no reason why any one cant go paddling. YAK ON !

Answer 2

there'll be no fear. we've a few "plus sized" members in our club and it's no bother to them. the only problem is if people are really tall.

It depends on the kayak and the style of it.  It also depends on how large of girls you are talking.  Most likely, they will be able to fit, although it might be a little uncomfortable.  Basically it is like you are sitting on the floor, only just a little higher, since you have a seat.  But you can bend your knees or keep them straight, whatever feels best.  

I know that my sister is over 250 pounds and can do very well in them.  I think once a few years ago, both of us took a ride in the same kayak, so we are talking about over 350-400 pounds.  However, we sat very low in the water.  That's fine, however, you have to be even more careful about tipping.

The closer to the water you go, the easier it is to tip.  So you really have to keep your body centered.  (Unless you want to tip...which can actually be really fun!!)  

Also, when getting in and out, is the most likely time to fall.  make sure to keep your body low and move slowly and you will be fine!

I'm sure you will have a great time!! :)  

Good Luck!
