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.

That will work fine but be advised some people we talked to had a Perception with a similur seat with the hinge like thing on the seat and it broke and they had trouble getting a new seat, I dont know if they got it fixed yet, I dont like the look of the Vapours seat. The 9.5 Perception Swifty has a simpler seat that is cheap to replace when it breaks and if you get out of the kayack and sit on the seat it will break in time. (the sit in kayaks are harder to get out of). Look up kayak seats breaking on google. Look for seat replacements and cost. The sit on tops have a molded in seat and also a generic seat of fabric that fits a lot of them.
