Petrel Play Recreational Sea Kayak Plans - PDF

The Petrel Play sits in a middle ground between recreational and sea kayaks, providing a stable and spacious option for beginners and leisurely paddling. It is also suitable for more experienced paddlers looking to surf or play in challenging water conditions.

With a hull design that includes a moderate "V" to flattish bottom and a mix of rounded and hard chines, the Petrel Play offers both stability and maneuverability for carving turns. The kayak's ample buoyancy and rocker make it easy to navigate tight spaces and venture offshore, while still providing a fun experience for all skill levels. Advanced paddlers can also take advantage of the transitioning chine for quick and instinctive turns.
