If you are ready to move your water adventures out to the open sea, then the touring kayak(皮艇) may be for you. The touring kayak is bigger than the ordinary kayak to suit for the open waters. It also features other parts that will make your travels easier and safer. Since safety is the number one concern when it comes to any outdoor activity, these kayaks are designed with your safety in mind.

  When you use touring kayaks to go out on the open waters you will find that they are much easier to handle than some of the other styles. Since some of the adventures that you may take can last for days, being easier to hold is a big help. They are also designed more for comfort and with lots of storage(储存) space for the same reason. You will be able to carry all the necessary equipment needed to make your trip a safe and exciting one.

  Touring kayaks are designed to carry one or two people. Many people like to team up and go kayaking in group. It is also safe if you travel in numbers, because the touring kayak is designed heavier and larger, it could be very difficult to turn over.

  Kayakers who go out on open waters usually enjoy spending a night by an open fire or combine some other hobbies such as photographing and bird watching. If you go out kayaking for one day or several days, please always follow the following safety tips to make sure you return home safety...
