Identification
Ocean Kayak launched their first sit-on-top in 1971 and offers single, tandems and fishing kayaks. Cobra Kayak claims to have more than 30 years of experience and offers kayak models that are categorized for various recreational uses.
Features
Cobra categorizes kayaks for purposes like fishing, touring, diving, long-distance sightseeing and surf riding. Ocean Kayak categories focus more on outfitting paddlers with gender-specific kayaks and family kayaks.
Considerations
Choose a kayak that fits your body and the way you use a kayak, rather than going on the basis of brand. A woman might choose the ultra-lightweight Ocean Venus 10 recreational kayak especially designed for female paddlers. An avid surfer might choose the Cobra Strike kayak with its built-in ridges, low-volume reducing drag and exaggerated rocker for riding the waves.
