for your back, spend a liitle extra for a good seat/backrest. oex has a good selection. as far as seasickness, west marine sells a product called "motion ease" it is all natural and safe for all ages. you can apply it even after you feel sick. i have seen it work on my friends. just put a few drops on your finger and rub it in behind your ears.

you could get a trailer....

there are many options for yaks. the smaller ones tend to get thrown about a bit and not good for open ocean or your stomach. 11ft would be the minimum id take out. your definately not going to be able to fish the structure in the harbor from a yak like a tube. they move quick and its a constant battle to stay on structure. the peddles would help alot here or wear some fins and sit sideways.

go check out OEX or any kayak shop really to see if anything pops out. they look alot different in person than on google images. you could even pick out a few and go demo them in the local bay/pond.

I've heard of a remedy for sea sickness

I'm a newb also. I bought a Hobie Outback and am absolutely loving it. I haven't had it in the salty stuff, yet but have been on a couple lakes for up to 8 hours with no problems. I'm 6'0' and around 250 lbs (and dropping!) and the outback is smooth and comfy. It's reasonably easy to get onto the roof of my old infiniti sedan. These guys have a ton of great advice and Iceman at OEX in Sunset Beach is really cool. Go visit him and he'll hook you up. Good Luck!
