Kayaks for Coastal Touring, Offshore Paddling and Open Water Expeditions
Sea kayaks are suited for paddling over longer distances on open waters, where conditions may be variable and often challenging. Their narrow beam and efficient designs ensures they paddle well on both smooth seas and big seas. Some designs are better suited for general cruising and touring. Others are more capable of being playful in swell for rock-hopping and surf fun. Many are fantastic all-rounders that will suit the avid sea kayaker looking to explore the coast and carry out some open water crossings. Cornwall Canoes is staffed by experienced sea kayakers who can provide expert advice on a suitable sea kayak for your needs. Just give us a call or drop us an email and we can assist you in purchasing a craft to take you on your ocean adventure!

Composite Sea Kayaks
Composite GRP and Carbon/Kevlar sea kayaks offer the paddler more performance. Aimed at more experienced paddlers, the smooth and stiff hulls glide through the water and cut through chop with incredible efficiency. This makes composite kayaks faster than their plastic counterparts.The compromise to this is that composite hulls are more easily damaged by rocks and hard beach landings than a plastic kayak (but can be repaired). The models made from Carbon/Kevlar are generally lighter than GRP and Plastic models too for even more performance and ease of carrying off the water.
