What to do when buying a fishing ski in South Africa?
- Decide if you want a sit-on-top, inflatable or traditional sit-in kayak. Sit-on-top kayaks are easiest to get in and out of while inflatables are great for those with limited storage.
- Determine if you want to paddle or pedal. You may prefer the exercise and simplicity of paddling, or want the advantages of pedaling with your feet so your hands are free for fishing.
- How much weight are you hauling? You’ll want to think about the boat’s weight capacity. Consider your own weight and the amount of gear you want to haul. Are you a minimalist or do you like having a lot at your disposal?
- Do you want to fish while standing? Stability is key here. Wider hulls tend to be more stable, allowing you to cast farther and with more confidence while standing; the tradeoff is potentially a slower boat.
