Although 10-foot kayaks are a more common size for recreational use, the company explains that 8-foot vessels tend to be more agile and easier to paddle than their larger counterparts. The winner in Kayaking Nation’s Sit-On-Top category in the latest report is the Lifetime Lotus 80, a lightweight, easy-to-navigate kayak with a multi-chine hull for maximum stability. The addition of twin skegs on the bottom of the watercraft assists with monitoring, a kayaking term to describe a vessel’s ability to travel in a straight line.

The company’s top pick for sit-inside kayaks is the Field & Stream Blade 30, listing its integrated device plates and comfortable foam seating as two of the best features on offer. Customers looking to combine two hobbies are directed to the Lifetime Hydros Angler 85, the winner in Kayaking Nation’s ‘Best for Fishing’ category. With ample storage room located in the strict, this is a good option for fishing enthusiasts who need somewhere to store their angling equipment.

Customers unsure whether to purchase a sit-inside or sit-on-top kayak can read the website’s informative comparison report, detailing differences in storage space, security and layout. The report outlines the benefits of purchasing an 8-foot kayak, listing portability, maneuverability and storage ability as some of the main reasons why customers choose 8-foot vessels over their larger counterparts.

A spokesperson for the company states: “Eight-foot kayaks have a superb turn distance, making them easy vessels to use for paddlers of any ability. The Blade 80 is exceptionally maneuverable thanks to its narrow form and sit-inside layout.”

In addition to its individual 8-foot watercraft reviews, the company also offers a comprehensive guide to buying a kayak. Suggestions include purchasing off-season, utilizing end-of-season sales and requesting examination paddles before making an investment.

UST opens campaign on high note, sweeps CSB in SSL Unity Cup

MANILA, Philippines — Veteran hitter Regina Jurado showed the way as University of Santo Tomas got off to a great start with a 25-21, 25-12, 25-18, victory over College of Saint Benilde in the 2026 Shakey’s Super League (SSL) Unity Cup on Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum. Jurado scored 12 of her game-high 13 points on attacks as the Golden Tigresses asserted their mastery over the Lady Blazers in a rematch of their SSL National Invitationals championship showdown. “Very thankful and nakaka-gain talaga ng confidence namin na first win namin ito and sunud-sunod ang mga games and liga. Happy na nakuha namin ang first game na ito,” said Jurado, who only saw action in two sets. UST joined Mapua University in sharing the top spot in Pool B of the league’s centerpiece competition, backed by Shakey’s Pizza Parlor, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, Potato Corner and R&B Milk Tea.    Marga Altea and Erica Guttierez added seven points each while Avril Bron finished with five markers for the Tigresses, whose one-hour, 20-minute triumph was aided by the Lady Blazers’ 25 errors. UST head coach Shaq Delos Santos also tested his setter rotation and yielded good results. Aneeza Santos and Arlene Waje tallied eight excellent sets each while veteran playmaker Cassie Carballo dished out six. UST encountered resistance late in the first set after CSB cut a five-point deficit down to two, 23-21. The Tigresses responded with two straight points capped by a kill by Jurado. UST’s second stringers held the fort in the second frame, dominating their Lady Blazers counterparts. The Tigresses cruised the rest of the way to begin their mission to settle unfinished business after a runner-up finish in the previous edition of the tournament, supported by Smart, PusoP.com and Summit Natural Drinking Water, with the Philippine Sports Commission, the Commission on Higher Education, Mikasa, Asics, Rigour Technology, Jersey Haven, Solar Sports and 12 Beyond Production as technical partners. Camila Bartolome was the lone bright spot for CSB, unloading 11 points on nine kills and two aces. Mary Grace Borromeo had six points for the Lady Blazers. Action continues on Sunday with Emilio Aguinaldo College taking on San Sebastian College-Recoletos at 1 p.m. Arellano University, which beat University of Perpetual Help System DALTA, 23-25, 25-23, 25-19, 25-23, on Friday, battles Letran at 3 p.m. followed by the 5 p.m. clash between debuting University of the East and Lyceum of the Philippines University. All games are available live and on demand via PusoP.com and Solar Sports. TMT
