The Spitfire 8 has been around for a few years but has been redesigned in 2012 to include a mesh netting for rear storage tank well and some new graphics on the sides of the boat. All-in-all, the Spitfire 8 is the same dependable kayak that it has always been.

The Emotion Spitfire 9 is a completely new version of the Spitfire Kayak that has been released in 2012. The Spitfire 9, as you might imagine, a 9 foot kayak that includes some additional options such as an under deck storage area with a solace hatch. The Spitfire 9 also also has a higher weight capacity of up to 350 pounds and includes a padded seat cushion. The Spitfire 9 is also a great value option for new paddlers.

I love that the Spitfire is an affordable option that allows kayaking newbies to get their feet wet. On this page, I have provide links to buy the Spitfire as well as some video and written reviews.

The Emotion Spitfire Sit On Top kayak features a self bailing design that utilized scupper holes in the boat to allow any water that comes in over the sides of the boat to be automatically drained. These scupper holes are very useful in conditions where water may enter the boat in the this manner. However, in calmer conditions, these scupper holes may allow water to come up through holes and get the paddler wet when he/she may otherwise stay dry. Scupper plugs stop water from coming through the scupper holes in calm water.

Emotion Kayaks has announced some new innovations to their 2012 Lineup of quality kayaks. They are making some design modifications to some of their already existing kayaks, and they are introducing some great new additions as well. The Emotion Spitfire 9 will be added, and this is exciting. The Spitfire 9 may be exactly what some new paddlers are looking for as it adds an interesting option which bridges the gap between the small 8 footers and the 10+ footers currently available for purchase. The Spitfire 9 also adds some features that make it different from the Spitfire 8 in more than just dimensions.

The Emotion Spitfire Sit-On-Top Kayak was designed specifically for those who are looking to get their start into the sport of Kayaking. It's length, width, and weight lend themselves to the overall mobility of the Spitfire both on and off the water. At 8 feet only 38 pounds, the Spitfire is simple to transport.

That's a big part of learning the sport. Unless we're lucky enough to live right on a local waterway, we have to get our new kayaks to the water. The Spitfire makes that easy.

But the Spitfire isn't just designed for easy transport to the water, it's designed to make paddling on the water easy. It's a pretty wide kayak at 2.5 feet wide which gives a paddler fantastic stability. Stability is crucial for us in believing in our ability to get out and go. When we're new to the sport, that's really all we want to do. We want to get on the boat and start exploring. With the Spitfire, that's exactly what we get.

However, Emotion Kayaks knew something when the introduced the Spitfire. We are going to get better. New Spitfire owners are going to be able to get out and get going so easily that they are simply going to fall in love with the ride. Naturally, paddlers are going to get better, and Emotion understood that the Spitfire had to have some design elements that allowed for our progression. The shallow V shaped hull allows for the speed and navigation that we are going to want as we start to progress.
