Choosing a kayak
Fishing kayaks
Fishing kayaks should be 12 - 16 ft long and wide enough to be stable.
Get a touring kayak
Also called sea kayaks, these are best for travel on open oceans and lakes.
Get a slalom kayak
Also called whitewater kayaks, these are shorter, with a tighter turning radius for navigating more "active" waters.
Choose a comfortable seat
Look for good back and hip support, and take the kayak out for a try before buying.
Fit to your weight
The kayak for a 150 lb male will not be the right size for someone 220lb.
