Sea Kayaks have the most advanced hull characteristics, geared towards providing better tracking, more maneuverability, lower windage, or more storage. It is not uncommon to find either a rudder or a skeg (or in some instances, both) to aid with directional control.
The Sea Kayak category is also typically where you will find the widest variety of construction methods – rotomolded plastic, thermoformed plastic, fibreglass, kevlar and carbon fibre are all common materials.
