Surfing Kayak
Kayaking is a great way to enjoy the ocean. For some an added benefit of kayaking in the ocean is being able to catch waves. Most kayaks can be surfed to some degree, but there are some styles better suited for surfing. Here are the most common surfing kayaks out there.
-Touring kayaks can be surfed in modest waves. These are good for cruising the coast and learning to ride waves with a kayak. If your using one in an area with regular swells it should have a flatter bottom, blunter bow, and a sturdy rudder. Wave Skis are the most high performance
Surfing Kayak
. They are essentially surfboards you paddle with a kayak paddle. Most have surfboards style fins, a quick release seat belt, and foot straps. These kayaks are very short, from 6-9ft. They take the most practice to use well and are best suited for wave riding.
Hybrid Wave Skis are fairly short with an open hull. These do not have as high a surfing performance as the wave ski but come fairly close.
Choosing the right surfing kayak requires that you consider the type of wave that you will be surfing as well as how much open water cruising you want to do. It is probably best to try to rent different types before making a plunge on a purchase.
The main advantage of this type of kayak seems to be its ability to paddle around easily. I could see using one of these somewhere like Waikiki where the outer breaks are a half mile out. I’ve done it on a shortboard and it’s a long paddle. Paddling one of these up and down a long beach to pick off waves would also be nice. They seem to paddle out fairly quickly after a ride but can taking a beating on the big sets.
The main disadvantage seems to be that they’re more gear-intensive, though not as much with the waveski. Still, I like the simplicity of surfing gear – just you and a board. I’m not so extreme that I’d rather bodysurf, but still…. A board can also duck under waves when the bigger sets come in and just seems to catch more waves, particularly a shorter surfboard in fast breaking surf.
Kayak surfing in the ocean is one of the best kept secrets in the paddling world. There are so many benefits to surf kayaking that it really is amazing why more people haven’t picked it up. Whether you’re a whitewater pro wanting to branch out to the sea or you’ve never been in a kayak and think it looks fun, this how-to will help you on your way to Ocean Kayak surfing. As soon as you get out to the ocean make a good decision. If it is too rough out there, don’t try to go surf kayaking. You should know your ability level well enough to determine if you can handle the waves you are about to paddle. Also, don’t get discouraged as anyone who goes to a beach knows, the waves change and will fluctuate throughout the day with the tide When Kayak Surfing in the Ocean: It can be tempting when surf kayaking to think you can go without your helmet or even life jacket. After all, surfers don’t wear either. This is an all around bad idea. You never know when you’ll be thrown upside down onto a coral-laden sandbar and will need your helmet. Wearing a pfd while kayaking should just be obvious at this point. (Sit-on-top paddlers don’t might not need to wear a helmet as they won’t be upside-down while still in the kayak.)
