Tandem Kayak Solo
Rip Necky kayaks are good for a beginner?
I was twice in a kayak. time solo (sit-on-top), the second tandem (sit-in). want to buy one now. I will use it primarily for calm rivers, could take in a lake as well. I live in Florida, so no rapids. I'm 5'10, 125 pounds, male or would you recommend another? looking for a sit-in only dealing with a watertight hatch for less than $ 600 new, does not bother me to buy one used. thanks! have a canoe and kayak so much better.
The Necky Rip? Meh. At 10.5 feet and over 28 "wide is what I call a" bathtub "Too short and wide to be a lot of fun paddling -. It will be slow, and no follow-up and especially for someone your size. You'll quickly get bored with it, unless all you want to do is around Bob in a side street in beer and drinks it. Look for anything from 12 to 14 feet long and a maximum width of 24 inches with a real cockpit keyhole, no gaping hole Rip a. I think that idea of a "beginner kayak" is a bad – you should buy the best boat you can afford the type of water you want to use it to buy a used Kayaking is a great idea because you can get a better boat for the money – often half of what it would be again. Check your local Craigslist for touring kayaks and reference all the models that you see an advertisement for "comments" to http://www.paddling.net. This site has the most boat reviews and specifications for the user how they perform (do not take their comments carefully – many more people overestimate their own kayaks and saw "10 or 10" ratings to junk I would not charge) the better bet is to find a good kayak outfitter / dealer. and speaking with one vendor, find little about the different types of boats and try to have on others an idea for an adjustment. You are very thin for your height and so clean is really important if you have good control of the boat – you "wear" a kayak rather than sit. You can even need to add foam thigh braces inside the cockpit to get the best control. A shop offering demos on the water will give you a chance to test the boat. I think you'll be amazed at the number of results between models.
