Let's be honest, once you try your first kayak, you're gonna want one of every kind! I got my first kayak a week ago, the lifetime tahoma, the cheap one from Walmart. I took it to the local lake and I was immediately hooked! I LOVE my kayak! But, as soon as I got home, I was looking on FB marketplace for a sit inside and a canoe to I can take my large dog with me! It was an immediate addiction, I've been listening to Paddle TV while at work, daydreaming of the kayaks I want and now I can drive past a puddle without thinking, "can I kayak there?!" This channel has been super helpful in teaching me all the kayak things!!! Thanks Paddle TV!!

Just wait till you try one with a rudder or if you find a kayak sail... yup you'll be worse than hooked.

It may have not answered the question but I still learned.

Great video. As a tall big guy, I was concerned about getting a sit-in but you guys help me make up my mind, especially since I'm really not into fishing

went with the lifetime sit on top, very stable , gets enough speed and turns well on a lake

Best comparison review I've seen . Nice job . I'm currently in the market for a kayak, and this will help me tremendously to decide . Thank you .

Excellent videos! You are my go to channel for everything paddling related.

First time buyer and this was VERY helpful thank you so, so much!

Very well done- makes the decision process much clearer. Thank you!

Thank you for this video. I am in the UK and we bought a narrowboat to go on the canals a year ago. There are always people kayaking on the canals and I want to get one. I tried it at a local lake today and loved it. As a complete novice who favours stability over performance I can see that a sit on top would best for me. Thank you.

You've answered the question for me.. Rather, it's something i have been considering for a while. That is.. Upgrade to a sit-in for better performance and usability, for overnight camping trips.

I did a 13 mile paddle with a VERY tall (like, 5'20") friend yesterday... he was on a SOT made by the same manufacturer as my boat. Both boats are significant steps up from big-box store selections. When I really hit my stride (not racing, but "covering distance" efficiently), I could hear his hull behind me making a huge wake, and he was huffing and puffing. He's probably more fit than I am overall, but his boat was holding him back. His boat just became a wave generator above a certain speed. When we got back to the ramp, I asked if he wanted to try my boat with the footpegs maxed out... he'd told me before that he "knew" that he wouldn't fit, so he'd never tried it. Entry was, well... interesting. His femurs are far longer than the cockpit was designed for. There's just no question about that. But, once he got folded into the boat, he was quite comfortable. His exit from the boat was similarly awkward, but managed without incident. But he was still (understandably) worried about what would happen if he ended up wrong-side up while paddling. I tried to imagine a wet-exit from that boat if I was as long as he is, and I really don't know the answer. He might just fold up and fall out, but, maybe not! My (slightly tongue-in-cheek) solution was that he just learn to roll, but, short of that, what's an extremely tall person to do if he/she wants to use a real performance kayak?

Thank you for the explanation! My experience is mainly with canoes and I'm thinking the sit on top's would be good for my kids. Good video!

I enjoyed this video! I have both types of kayaks and like them for the reasons he mentioned.

Excellent video! Helped me so much.🎉

Great video! Thanks for the info. My boyfriend goes fishing and just bought a sit on top kayak. I want to get a kayak too, but want one more for performance as I won’t really be fishing. I am leaning toward the sit inside and will get lessons too.😊

Both... Just bought a sit on top for this coming winter (more stability, easier to get on if I take a swim) for easy paddles on a river. I'll take out the sit inside in Spring for long distance kayaking on a large lake.

Love my sit on top kyak ,I have the old town 120, plenty of storage. Take it back country camping all the time, just had to invest in a good wet bag for my gear.

Both my mom and I are wanting to get a kayak, I was originally thinking getting a sit on top for me and a sit in for her. Now I know I should get the sit in type, and she'll enjoy the sit on type best. Thanks for the video.

I'm surprised you didn't mention loading a kayak in the bed of a pickup with the tailgate up. We have a 10 foot kayak and putting it in on an angle raises the boat up and out of the way. That way you can load paddles, fire wood, etc. No red flag needed and you don't have to worry about somebody backing up and hitting the boat.

This question is asked so many times on my local FB groups. I really appreciate how well you addressed it.

Over in GB we get less SOT with the additional higher seat and more are like the Perception Scooter or Gemini for the 2 seater where you do still sit low and they are what the choice is normally between. I think in the US a lot of SOT are designed for angling use so higher freeboard, wider and harder to get back on. Sit in side is blurred as you showed towards the end as some have such an open cockpit you cant roll. To me its hard calling a kayak a sit inside if you can't actually brace your knees to edge and fit a spray deck that you can roll with. So there is a very grey area between the two. Again it may not apply in your area, but you didn't mention protection from the elements. I can paddle a sit inside in shorts on days where a sit on top would need warmer/waterproof trousers. The main thing is to have fun with what you get.

Very good and informative video. Thank you

I'm ready to buy a kayak but have been wanting one for 6+ years. I like to camp and possibly go kayaking on the lake or rivers going through Kansas or Missouri. My dilemma has typically been one or two kayaks or tandem sit on top or sit inside. Want to kayak with son who is 11 but had the same dilemma with older son who is now 20. We went on scout trip and just used rental kayaks and canoes. I like the option to take a cooler store plenty of water , Gatorade, food etc. I have a Toyota 4runner but need a way to haul 2 kayaks. It would mostly be just me needing to move it myself but I've seen wheel sets that can be used for hauling sit on top kayaks to the water. I'm 6'3" and 220 and want something safe for my son and me. And mostly level 1 water maybe occasionally level 2 but 99.9% slow moving water. Aka scout trip with very leisurely ride down the river stopping to swim eat fish whatever. I've looked at then12 foot sit inside kayak wilderness systems Punto 1w that's in your other recent video. I've also looked at vanhunks or vibe sit on top kayaks. Almost wonder if I need one of each. Or ? Any recommendations on brands or where to shop at? I hate the cheapo pelicans I see at big box stores. Of course some can get into rudders pedal power etc. Suggestions for car carriers on roof to haul that can fold down but also hold enough weight for 2 kayaks. GuessING 150 lbs for 2 kayaks plus or minus based on type.

Informative thank you

I use both. Sometimes I just want a quick, warm weather paddle on small water and use SOT which, in my case, is smaller and lighter. For big or cold water or long trips I take my Tsunami 145.

Great video for the difference

I wanted a kayak that did everything well, so last year started doing my homework and ended up buying the Stellar S14s. While not perfect for everything, I absolutely love it! If you like the idea of sit-on-top but want more performance I would argue to look at the S14s.

Good comparison. Can you compare a hobie mirage drive kayak with a sit in kayak of equivalent value and do a comparison of those two kayaks? The mirage drive changes the performance equation because they can be faster than a light sit in kayak. You get the comfort, stability plus the mirage drive can be faster.

I'm a spearfisherman. I have to be able to anchor, gear up, get in, and get out of the water with gear. Only SOT allows this flexibility. For overnight camping and longer range trips, I have a Cobra Tourer... the best touring SOT in the world.

Over the last 10 years I've owned at least 7 kayaks. I started out with sit on top, but once I felt more expeiemced, I went to sit insides.

Well, this shows the difference between a classic "sea kayak" and a "fishing kayak". My sit on top Nelo 510 plastic surfski has better performance than, I would guess, all sea kayaks on the market: safer, more speed, bailer etc. Just want to add the surfski since not mentioned here. Otherwise, thanks for a great overview!

I'm hung up on which one to get. I have always had sit on top Jackson kayaks and Hobie. I found a used but hardly used Jackson kayak Kraken 15.5 and I used to fish a lot but now not so much but I have always wanted to get a touring kayak and I have been looking at the wilderness systems Tempest 170. They say the Kraken at 15.5 feet has great glide and good speed for a sit on top but probably not as good as the Tempest 170. Wondering if anyone has experience with either of these yaks? Also I am 6'6" tall and 36" inseam and size 13 shoes.

I've done a ton of filming from kayaks. Here's my feeling... A sit-on-top is a great platform for filming because it's stable. I've done most of my filming from sit-on-tops and have liked it. Pedal kayaks are great too, because the keep your hands free, although I usually still have a paddle in my lap to fine tune my kayak's position for shots (not easy to do with pedals). That being said, I feel that my gear is a bit more protected when I'm in a super stable sit-inside kayak. I used to love filming out of the Wilderness Systems Commander, which was a kayak/canoe hybrid. Now, I think the Bonafide EX123 might be my favourite filming boat for flatwater conditions. That being said, it's hard to go wrong with either. The biggest things you want are stability, and something that isn't too short or 'turny', as the wind will spin you in circles as you try to get your shot.

While you could add a wheel to some kayaks that have the right shape at the stern, you will need to drill holes below or near the waterline. That is a recipe for leakage.

You can go camping with a sit-on-top, although it's not ideal. Some sit-on-tops provide hatches to store your gear inside the kayak. This is a great option, because otherwise, all your gear needs to be stored on top of the kayak, which makes the kayak a little top heavy.

I got to give you credit for keeping a straight face through all of this. A man of your caliper giving a review on these low end boats is like a race car driver going from a formula 1 race car to a Trabent 601. I hope they're paying you well to paddle these lackluster boats.
