Manta Ray 14 Kayak - Sit-On-Top

If hurling yourself down a swollen creek that's littered with log jams and water falls doesn't make a whole lot of sense to you, then sit yourself on the Liquidlogic Kayaks Manta Ray 14 Sit-On-Top Kayak and have a killer time as you paddle across flat water of any sort. Great for glassy lakes and choppy coastal waters, the Manta Ray 14 is a solid choice for heavier paddlers or folks looking for a bit more gear hauling capacity. With a 14ft 7in length, this is the largest offering in the Manta Ray line, making it the best choice for big water and large paddlers.

The stable hull shape inspires confidence in beginner paddlers, but will still carve a hard line and punch through surf with aplomb. Liquid Logic made sure this boat was good to go right out of the box by throwing its padded and quick-drying DVC seat into the ring and adding adjustable foot pegs to the equation. Hell, it even integrated small sealed day hatches behind and in front the seat for easy access to cameras, snacks, and whatever essentials you require during a full day's paddle. When a weekend paddle is in store, secure dry bags in the sealed bow hatch and secure you cooler full of beverages in the rear tankwell for easy access when it's time to pull into a secluded cove for a mid-day brew and nap—just remember to throw some sunscreen on before you drift off.
