Light Touring kayaks are the perfect balance for many people. They are short and light enough that throwing them onto the roof for a quick paddle is not out of the question. Some of the boats in this category also allow you to take them on an overnight trip or paddle on open water should the opportunity arrive. When we say "light" touring we use that term lightly since there are many boats out there that bridge the gap quite well to full touring.
