A whole world of adventure awaits you with a sit-in kayak, one of the preeminent modes of transportation that the human mind has ever schemed up.
A Time-Tested Design
The sit-inside is the classic design of the kayak: the same basic form that served the ingenious indigenous inventors of the craft up at the top of the world so well for thousands of years. Even though you're now dealing with polyethylene or other synthetic materials instead of sealskin, the technology--though it's certainly diversified--hasn't changed the fundamental elegance of this incredibly refined style of boat.
It's commonly said about the sit-in setup that a kayaker is less a paddler riding in a boat than someone fused with the vessel into some unified, highly efficient watercraft entity. That's certainly how it feels out on the water, where you enjoy precise and total control over your kayak with each shift of your body and every sweep of your paddle.
A sit-in kayak such as the Necky Rip 10 or the Old Town Heron 11XT offers superb protection from the elements, given you're nestled inside the craft. For rough or cold waters, a skirt provides all the more watertight comfort. The cockpit design also means that sit-in 'yaks can be quite narrow, making for a swift and high-tracking boat that's easy to paddle for long distances.
