Sit On Top Kayak - Innovative Kneeling Position

If you prefer a kneeling position (better for your back) this could be for you! Basically designed as a kneeling 'sit-on-top' for use on flat water or playing on/surfing at the beach. The 'Yogakayak' is popular in Canada (has won innovative awards) and has been made available in Europe, but not yet in the UK. I had this shipped over from France a few months ago for my husband's birthday, but sadly he is 3 stone too heavy for it (it works best under 12 stone)! Colour: Lime Green It has barely been used - condition as new.

The full details are on the rotaxmarine website under yogakayak. We paid almost £400 for it. No paddle included.Can be used with kayak or Canadian paddle. The main advantage of the kneeling position is definitely the resolving of back pains. If you try to paddle on a sit-on-top with no back rest you will have a back pain in 15 minutes, because you have to compensate with your abs and put pressure on the spine.

Paddlers of the Yogakayak straddle a central support beam, with their buttocks taking about 60 % of their weight, and their calves slipping into two recessed slots on the bottom of the boat. The boat can also be paddled with the legs out front, when paddlers need a change. The unique structure of this kayak makes it strong yet light.
