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.

Thank you for the responses. They are very helpful. I went over to ***'s Sporting Goods the other night and they have an Old Town Vapor (10') for about $300. It looks decent enough. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on this model?
In Kayaks, you will get what you pay for. I'd look on Craigslist for a used one or a specialty shop (some also sell used) before going to a Big Box retailer. You can always turn them around and sell it and do well on the back end of things too.
