Because they can be maneuvered so easily kayakers love to play in the rivers with them and it is common to see many people flowing downstream together.
5. Comfortable - while you may be in your kayak all day or for long hours and you will find they are soft and comfortable whether you are riding down the river or just quietly fishing.
