What kind of water should I use a Vibe fishing kayak in? Can I use it in the ocean?
You can take any Vibe kayak in the ocean, but some of our models are more suited for ocean wake and surf stability, and crossing long distances quickly. Typically the longer the kayak the better it handles open bodies of water. The smaller the kayak the more maneuverability you will have in smaller bodies of water; but smaller kayaks aren’t best suited for ocean currents and wake.
