Crossover Kayak- Rec Kayak- Touring Kayak- What's It All Mean?

In this episode, we talk about sit in kayaks and what is the difference between a few popular types of sit in kayaks. We also introduce you to the FIT Concept. We use this concept in-store to help customers decide which style and model of kayak will best serve their needs.

I encourage you to read this article Happy Paddlin Published on the F.I.T. Guide.

Thank you I’m 70 yrs old and live on a lake, actually river that has dams and locks with calm water. Researching the touring kayak. Never kayaked and this was very informative.

These things are so awesome!! It seems like yesterday.. we used to take inner tubes from large construction vehicle tires. The best were from the airplane tires.. I'm not going to go into much detail... but five of those tied together with some clothes line rope.. with a used piece of carpet on top!! Total cost $0.00 multiple seasons using the same material... PRICELESS!!

Your videos are fantastic. Wish you were closer. I would buy from you. Thanks for being awesome.

[mikemason]

I fish out of my kayak but I still watch all your reviews and instructions. Outstanding.

[dannyw.]

Great vid! You are the only group on YouTube with full in-depth reviews. Really hard to find content like this about kayaks.

[markf]

Dan, you so such a great job on these videos. You’re a wealth of kayak knowledge! I’ve learned so much from your videos. Paddle on !

I keep remembering this cool bypass they installed in Yorkville, IL for kayaks. They essentially installed a bypass to go around the dam on the Fox River, and included rapids for experienced kayakers and a calmer path for novices.

Love my Dagger Axis 12.0. Its a great happy medium kayak. It does everything I need it to. Jack of all boats, master of none, but does well enough for me. Love the Molten model.

Great informative video
Here in Florida we need shop like yours and your passion for promoting the kayak world,
Thanks you 🙏

Thank you for making this video! It was SO helpful! I own an Axis 10.5, but didn’t know what made it different from other kayaks. Still learning this sport, and doing it alone. So your YouTube clips have really been helpful! They’re very informative and you have a good on-camera personality.

This helped so much. Now it's easier to understand all the differences. Definitely a rec and maybe a crossover later

Hope everyone’s day is going great, keep on yaking

Your videos are the best for beginner and moderate levels. Thank you for putting them out.

[charliego]

Man, thanks so much for this. I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out where to upgrade. I was leaning towards the axis, but now I think I should go to the Stratos..

[IndianaCards]

The first 2 daggers are absolutely beautiful. Definitely will be looking into one for my next boat. 2 years late but better late than never seeing them pretty kayaks haha

[bigred]

Headwaters Kayaks, these videos are great! I've learned so much. Can you do a video on crossover kayaks? Maybe compare the Katana to some other similar boats and talk about who these boats are good for and how to decide between crossover, or buying separate ww, and rec boats. Thanks!

Dan, I really love your videos.
My girlfriend and I are looking for our first kayaks. I have been using your videos as research.
We started out looking at the sporting goods store and warehouse kayaks.
After watching your videos, we've passed through the $300.00, $500.00 and ended up closer to your $1, 000.00 price range, (Thank you).
We've been in touch with our local kayak shop, (Scappoose Bay Paddling Center/Next Adventure, in Scapppose, Oregon) and they have been awesome.
Thanks, to you and Jack in Scappoose, I think that I've finally narrowed it down to one.
Thank you for everything. Keep up the great work.
Chris

Outstanding description of each kayak and comparisons. Great work!!!

[saintjames]

Dude.... you post some great very educational... thumbs up

[joshuagibson]

Would your recommend a dagger or a pungo for flat lakes and maybe some class one and two rivers? I am 6’3 and 250 pounds. I bought a box store kayak and now in love. I want to expand my paddling so I want a boat that will grow with me.
