Rising Star Single for Children

12'-6" ( 3.8m) long
 19-1/2" (50cm) wide
about 20lbs (9kg)

 A kayak for kids. The rising star is intended to give kids that feel of a real kayak. It is not so large that a kid has trouble controlling it and its light weight lets a kid have fun. Parental supervision is a must for kids starting out with this boat because like a real kayak is for adults, this kayak is a bit tippy to give kids the feel and control they need for learning the sport of kayaking. Intended for kids up to about 120 lbs 54.43 kg .

The Rising Star is a small kayak intended for kids or small adults. It is proportioned like an adult kayak to give kids the feel and responsiveness of an adult kayak in a kid's size. This kayak is not an extra wide, stable kayak which limits a kids ability to learn the skills which an adult can enjoy such as leaning, bracing and Eskimo rolling. Its 20 inch 50.8 cm width makes this an easily paddled kayak to give its captain the fun of speed.
