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.
WARNING: Do not exceed the certied 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 dicult to react quickly.

weather and water your kayak will lose some pressure. If this occurs, you may want to add a
bit more air to the kayak to improve performance. In hot weather or prolonged sunlight, the air
inside the kayak will expand. You must let some air out of the appropriate chambers to prevent
the kayak from failing due to overpressure. You should avoid exposing your kayak to extreme
temperatures (hot or cold).
