BRITISH STYLE FEATURES
Developed to conquer high winds and confused seas, British style kayaks are a moderate form of performance touring kayak. Their cockpits are designed
to be snug, they have slightly rounded bottoms, fairly pronounced rocker, and up swept bows. Well suited for highly windy conditions, British designs are
good for lay backs and surfing. Some British style kayaks favor more experienced paddlers. British style kayaks have skegs, moderate sized cockpits, back bands, and thigh braces.

British Touring Cockpits
Touring cockpits are somewhat small to help resist imploding of the spray skirt if hit by a large wave in rough water.
They include built-in thigh braces on the cockpit rim to maximize control when edging and rolling. They range from 29” to 35” long, depending on the model.
