How stable are your touring kayaks?Updated 3 months ago

The feeling of stability is very relative to the paddler and the more time you spend paddling, the progressively more stable you will feel in any kayak. That said, we pay close attention to the properties that affect stability (center of buoyancy and center of gravity) so that most novice paddlers should feel comfortable with the stability of our Lightweight Touring series kayaks. Eddyline’s boats are considered “hard-chined”. Chine describe show the bottom of the kayak meets the sides. A hard chine means means that the bottom and side meet more at an angle, while a soft chine is more rounded. Hard-chined boats generally have more“ primary stability”, or stability when the kayak is floating level.
