2.1 Capacity
The person/load capacity is determined by the availability of proper seating on the kayak. Acceptable seating determines the number of
passengers, not the overall load capacity.
Do not exceed the certified maximum capacities under any circumstances. Overloading will reduce freeboard and increase the
likelihood of swamping, especially in heavy seas. Overloading causes handling to become sluggish, making it difficult to react quickly.
