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 love my Folbot Citibot! It assembles like a tent........frame then cover, and for someone who lives in a 2 bedroom Hollywood apartment with a husband, roommate, and two cats and drives a Nissan Versa, the portability can't be beat! I keep it in the trunk of my car for the most part, always on call should I find myself at the beach with someone to paddle it.
There is a bit of a learning curve on the assembly, but after awhile it takes about 10 minutes to assemble and less to take it apart.
Its small enough to pack on a plane and weighs 24 lbs, which means I can take it with me no matter where I'm swimming. Seeing as how you can spend a couple hundred dollars on kayak rental for a long swim, I think its well worth the money.
I blogged about my kayak last week, complete with pictures for the curious.
