Message: [QUOTE="SubbaBub, post: 2136389, member: 523"] If you are new, buy used. There are 3 basic types, whitewater, touring, and open top. Figure out which is best for what you are looking to do and how flexible your body is. I can tell you that ww kayaks are a tight fit and if you aren't comfortable in one for an extended period then you will hate it. If you are not bendy enough you won't be able to master the skills necessary to be anything but an accident waiting to happen. If you are looking to paddle flat water rivers and lakes, you want a touring kayak. If you are looking to paddle mostly flat, with some moving water (not white water), and maybe some surf, but you aren't travelling long distances, then consider an open top. [/QUOTE]
