I am looking to buy a kayak for my wife to paddle as I swim in a calm lake. I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions as to size, features, etc as I know nothing on this topic. I don't need anything fancy or for rough(er) water, just fairly simple.
Thanks in advance.
I have the advanced elements inflatable double kayak-- We love it. It really handles like a regular boat and sets up in 15 - 20 minutes. Good for NYC living in limited space.
They have a lot of different models. The things are still kind of heavy when in the "suitcase" (ours is about 65 pounds) but if you have bikes on the roof of the car -- where would you put a rigid kayak?
I have looked at the Foldboats -- they look good too but are pretty expensive.
We had a test drive of the advanced elements before buying -- I'd recommend that to be sure it works for you (I insisted we see it inflated from the case, due to a traumatic experience in my childhood with an inflatable boat, but that's another story.)
