A well-fitting kayak enhances your comfort and your ability to control your boat. Learn how to fit out your own boat in this demonstration.
Fit Matters. Kayaks come in an enormous range of shapes and sizes. Just as you hike or ski with the right size boots, you want your kayak to fit you, too. A well-fitting kayak is more than just a factor of your height and weight. Small variations in dimensional factors can make a huge difference.
Contact is Confidence. Greater amounts of uniform body contact yield more than comfort and control; positive contact with our boat breeds confidence. At MIKCo, we custom cut and carefully shape thigh and hip foam pads to fit paddler’s unique body shapes and flexibility. This is not to make the kayak fit tightly; rather, it is to increase contact for your control and sense of confidence on that jobbly sea.
