Kid wants first kayak...any beaters out there?

[bluesquids]

Malibu mini-x is great for kids and on the plus side it paddle well for adults because of its high payload rating, track well and fishes well too, super lite can just toss it in the car and go. I got one for my kid as a used rental from OEX many moons ago...Hes used it a few times I use it all the time.....mine was super cheap, but it had a crack in the seat that I fixed no problem and i added a center hatch that cost $50 and a couple rod holders .

Just telling you about it as a reference for a kayak that works well for our family since you didn't specify what size you wanted to buy. Trying to be helpful.

Thanks, much appreciated.

If you love your child, you would get him a revo 11.. Without patches or repairs

My buddy and I have an old tandem we don't use any longer that you could check out.

Blue Pelican tandem. It's a beater but works fine. Sun faded and has a few holes that we patched.

PM me if you want to discuss.

Pat, thanks for the response. He's really interested in doing his own paddling, so for now we're focusing on a single. Again, I appreciate the reply though.
