Hey Marco,

purchasing equipment.

I would have to agree with Marco. Get the ride you want and play around with it for a while before you invest in some things you may not need. Get out and see other peoples set ups. I can't speak for everyone but most kayakers are proud of what they have and are willing to talk about and show you what they have for their set ups. This forum is a great place to start.

As far as ride. Test them out. I have the Outback and love it. The stability is great. I was out the other day with the family. My wife had hers with our youngest son (7) and I hade our oldest (8). My oldest wanted to go out on his own so I hoped onto my wifes. The yak held all 3 of us very well (me 230 lbs, wife 130 lbs, son 82 lbs = 442 lbs). We were in the bay so we were okay with this but if we were out at LJ I don't think I would have been too keen on the idea. The Outback may be slow but I am not in a hurry and it is still faster than most others against the current.

Welcome and enjoy.

Thanks for the welcome and will try out bays before going out.
From seeing all the pictures and reading the fish stories, it looks like more
fun than any party boats or private boats. Thanks again
