ABSTRACT:
This invention is a kayak having port and starboard flares to widen the hull above the shear/water line. The flares extend outboard from the sidewalls of the kayak hull, increasing in width toward the cockpit. The flares have substantially reduced width adjacent the cockpit to define a recess that allows unobstructed paddling. The flares increase the stability of the kayak in rough water conditions without increasing the drag on the hull.
