Sea kayaking

A sea kayak or touring kayak is a kayak designed for open waters on lakes, bays and oceans. They are seaworthy human-powered watercraft with a covered deck and the ability to incorporate a spray deck, and trade off the manoeuvrability of whitewater kayaks for higher cruising speed, cargo capacity, ease of straight-line paddling (tracking), and comfort for long journeys.
