Kayak Ideas

SAMIAM · 05-08-2011, 08:25 AM

Over the years, we've had power boats, sailboats and canoe's......but never a kayak and we're thinking of taking the plunge and buying a couple if we can find a good deal.
We'd appreciate any tips from you experienced kayakers out there.
We won't be doing anything extreme, just lake, pond and flat river cruising but we'd also like enough stability to use them in Florida in fairly small surf.
A friend has a couple of 12' Kestrels and he loves them. Says they are stable, forgiving, track well and very light weight.
Any suggestions??
