Does anyone have these little sit on tops? These 2 are on order but we haven't received them yet and cannot decide if both will work for our different weights or just one of them (the frenzy holds more weight). Store is ok if we dont keep both so that isn't an issue.
Our weights go from 110 to 225 in our family! We looked last year but rentals were tandems at the beach in Florida (Naples gulf). We want something just to mess around the shoreline and out a little bit - surf in waves if any. The weights given seem like my husband would sink the yakboard but the frenzy looks bulbous. Decided to buy rather than rent since we tend to go their once a year and maybe could use on Lake Erie beaches when breezy.
Frenzy will work fine For what you want to do the Frenzy is the perfect boat. Yak board is designed more for just surfing, but it actually kind of sucks after you get past the beginning stage. You can surf the Frenzy, not going to be doing advanced moves but I still take mine out just to kick around the coast once in a while when the waves are crap.
210s are OK I use a 197 A long paddle promotes arm paddling and will be easy to cause the bow to swing back and forth. If you plan to do much surfing go with a shorter paddle.
A follow up on my post We purchased both the yakboard and frenzy - daughter liked the yakboard but it was taking on water after a very short paddle with her 115lbs on it on a calm little lake so…we returned it and bought a 2nd frenzy which is still wrapped in the van till tomorrow. We like the frenzy but admit the seat feels a little snug for my husband and i am not far off either! It paddles decent for such a short boat but as posted it is a beach/wave boat and not a distance boat. I think my kids will choose these in the summer for their open comfort - maybe i will sometimes too if not paddling too far. thanks for the input! Ready to go to the beach now - hmmm now if I can just stack them together on the roofrack - worth a try and a trial run to see if feasible.
