Swell Sit-on-top simplicity for maximum fun. Attention to detail, makes the Swell one of the most desirable kayaks to own. The unique hull design results in a kayak that is super stable, hard-tracking, and well suited for surfing. Incorporated into the deck is a seat so supportive and comfortable you'll choose the Swell over any beach chair. Youngsters and “alleged” grown-ups will have an absolute blast with a Swell sit-on-top kayak. If diving is your sport of choice, you'll never surface-swim again. Diving is facilitated by tank wells fore and aft and the porthole storage found on the Swell Plus. Outfitting includes scupper holes plugs for dry paddling. Molded in grab-holds mean, unlike other sit-on-tops, the Swell can be easily carried by one person.

Swell Plus comes standard with a rear scuba diving tank attachment system and screw-in hatch for day gear storage.

The large cockpit allows for all kinds of gear such as decoys, tackle, photographic equipment, even a youngster or pet. For many people, this is the perfect alternative to a typical canoe or kayak.
