Here at The Kayaking Journal, we've compiled a series of reviews on various canoes and canoeing accessories. These canoe reviews are subjective and admittedly unscientific.
They are based on our own experience with these products, as well as comments we've received from other paddlers. We've tried to provide a fair assessment of these products--pointing out both their good and bad points (as we've experienced them)--and we are not paid to promote any particular product over another.
Modern canoes come in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, and the boat you choose should match your needs and skill level (and of course, your pocketbook). Our advice is to shop around when considering a canoe purchase, ask other paddlers what their experiences have been, and don't be afraid to negotiate a better price if the circumstances warrant it.
If you'd like to
submit your own canoe review, or canoeing accessory, or other outdoor
recreation gear, just use the "contact us" form and
we'll consider your request.

You'll want to run a line of tape down the hull (above the waterline) of your kayak. If you have a plastic-hulled boat that tape won't stick to, try sewing the tape inside a 1" tubular webbing that can be attached over the boat's deck lines. You'll also want to tape the blades of your paddles, your PFD, and your helmet (if you wear one).
