Our take on the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak

The Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak is a 6-foot, 18-pound sit-on-top kayak molded from UV-protected high-density polyethylene for kids ages 5 and up. It carries up to 130 pounds, has a reverse-chine hull for stability, multiple footrest positions, molded side handles and a paddle cradle, plus a patented swim-up deck that helps a child climb back on from the water. It ships with a black double-sided paddle. The latest best price is not stated here, so compare current store prices against its recent range before buying.

Questions and answers

Is the Lifetime Wave Youth Kayak worth it?
For a young beginner on calm water, yes. It is light, stable for its size and has a re-entry deck that builds confidence. Adults or rough water need a larger kayak.
What age and weight is it for?
Lifetime rates it for youth ages 5 and up, with a 130 lb (59 kg) load capacity. Check that your child fits the footrest positions and stays under the limit with gear.
Does it come with a paddle?
Yes. The box includes one black double-sided paddle. A backrest is an accessory and is not included.
Can my child stand up in it?
No. The 24-inch-wide hull is stable for sitting and paddling but not good for standing.
Is it safe in the ocean?
Only on very calm days. It is a 6-foot recreational kayak meant for flat, sheltered water, not surf, swells or strong currents.
When is it cheapest?
Youth kayaks like this usually drop in price in late summer and around Black Friday. Check the price history before buying.
