Cheers. I have heard that I should try as many out as I can and am looking into a store nearby. I have very little experience, having only played in smaller kayaks growing up and even then it was maybe once a year, but love the ocean and think this is a sport I could get hooked on very easily.

Was into hiking but after a busted ankle I won' be able to carry large loads on that ankle for at least a another year and probably longer. So am interested in mainly kayaks designed for multi day trips but good for both ocean and river. My budget is open to anything as long as it's good quality and will last. Rather grown into a kayak than buy one and be ready for another in 6mths.

Cheers
