Do FirstLight kayaks have inherent buoyancy?
Our kayaks have only a small amount of positive buoyancy via the foam seat and bow and stern foam units. The recommended dry bag which should be purchased with the kayak offers up to 115litres of positive buoyancy. In addition, combination dry/air bags should be purchased from a number of suppliers and these provide positive buoyancy and storage space for gear. Tapered bags fit nicely through the small frames and into the ends our kayak. We have not included these items as standard equipment with our kayaks as we have found they can be purchased more cheaply at your retailer than we can supply them! This is because we do not manufacture these items, so we would need to buy them and then on-sell. This also gives you the freedom to choose whichever carry bag and buoyancy bags you want.
