What would be a good kayak?

Question

I am trying to decide what kayak would be good for me. I would like one that is more for touring and is easy to maneuver. I also want to be able to fish from it. I am a smaller person, and I am really not sure where to start. I probably won't be doing rapids at all and would like a price range from <$700. Any recommendations or advice? What is the difference between a women's kayak and a regular one?

You should think about getting a Flatwater Kayak, they have excellent stability (don't worry about tipping over) and are great for fishing because they have room to put your equipment.


Here is good site were they offer alot of good kayaks for under $500

If you can't find anything you like there, try looking for flatwater kayaks on ebay or craigslist.


Good Luck!

I bought mine at Dick's sporting goods, they have alot of them at Gander Mountain also. as far as womens vs. mens kayaks, the only differnces in kayaks is the weight capacity, most good kayaks have adjustable seats and foot rest pegs.
