Hi

Thanks

Sit on top or Sit in? If by large river you mean something like the Shannon you could get use out of something like a tandem sea kayak.

Paddled a Prijon Poseidon for 10 days last year and it was grand on the water. Sucked carrying it but then any double weighs a ton.

Pyranha make something a bit different called a Fusion Duo. Spent some time in one both on the Slaney and in the Irish Sea. Handy boat and if I was ever in the market for a tandem I'd be hard pressed to find a better option.

I paddled a couple tandem SOTs now and again but got no idea what they were so I'd be no help on those.

He'll point you in the right direction and you can even try them out.

Hi Romer Thanks.
We are looking at a sit on, we used them in Durgarvan this year found it easy to use.

We are living on the river lee i wouldn't mind how heavy it was as long as it would be safe.

Thanks Pullandbang I will give Darren a shout
