P&H kayak volumes The P&H Scoropio II kayak is available in different sizes, or volumes, to fit various body types. Low volume (LV) Low Volume kayaks are designed for shorter, or more petite, paddlers. Those wanting a tighter fit with more contact between themselves and the kayak, providing increased boat control, may also opt for a LV kayak. Mid volume (MV) Mid Volume kayaks are best suited for the “average” sized paddler. High volume (HV) High Volume kayaks are intended for larger or taller paddlers. They also have more storage volume for camping and tripping gear. Paddlers with more girth or wider hips may find more comfort and better fit in a HV kayak.
