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?I don't know this model, but if price is the main consideration, that sounds good. You can always resell and not lose much money. In the event that she doesn't like it (for comfort, too wobbly, etc), she'll know what she wants in another boat. I don't think you can go too wrong with a $300 boat, in other words.
Oh good, Lump posted his boat. This was mine a few years back- sold it because I was a bit too heavy for it and am still dreaming of another some day.
