Do I need a rudder on my kayak?Updated 3 months ago

None of our kayaks need a rudder for paddling in calm conditions. However, they can be beneficial on certain models in certain paddling conditions. Rudders are not recommended on our Touring series of kayaks as they come standard with skegs and were designed to be operated optimally with a skeg. The Equinox and Caribbeansmay benefit from a rudder if you regularly paddle in windy conditions and/or currents. Our tandem kayaks come standard with a rudder.
