What should I get Canoe or kayak?

Question

My dad and I always rent canoes and go up and canoe. But now we want to buy our own and the person said maybe you should get a kayak. We live in vancouver would go to pitt meadows and maple ridge or vancouver to kayak or canoe give pros and cons thanks!!

Answer 1

I own a kayak and its amazing. There are also 2 man kayaks if you want to keep it real with your dad.  Kayaks are more maneuverable.

Answer 2

Kayak!! They are a lot more fun, easy to use, and smaller. Try it out!

okay pros - awesome. upper body strength builder, close to water, can manuever easily. can transport easily.

cons - very slightly easier to flip. you probably wont though.

Answer 3

I think you will find a kayak the most versatile and easier to learn to paddle. Canoes are good for load carrying but in windy condition they are hard to paddle particularly in a straight line. I suggest you join a club and use club boats for a while and you will soon discover which ones suit your style and needs.

Answer 4

Well i think if you guyz like to go together then you should probably buy a cano cuz you both are still rowing and you are together but a kayak might be more fun!

Answer 5

ifyou only can go out once or twice in the summer, DONT GET ONE AT ALL.

canoes are like dogs, if you dont give them attention they will die.

people dont realize, canoes are living things.

Answer 6

If I were you, I would take my neigbors kayaks and canoes, sell them, then get a jetski or a rowing shell.

Without white water these are a lot of work, and you go nowhere.

Rowing shells are at least an efficient use of your energy.
