With a large cockpit and great stability, the Sandpiper makes getting in or out of the kayak a breeze, even from a dock or boat deck. At 12 feet long, the Sandpiper comes with a comfortable fixed seat that suits paddlers of many sizes. Knee pads cushion the coaming with the 8" bow hatch and 10" stern hatch, along with ample deck space, providing plenty of room for gear storage.
