The passport 12 is very similar to the old outback hull design which can and will handle just about anything. If anything, I'd say it's better for a beginner because the design intent was for mass market which requires simplicity and durability. If you look on the main passport page, there's guys getting yellows and sea bass locally on them. You do lose some storage and bells and whistles vs an outback but it's upgradeable to a certain extent and if you've been paddling a simple 10 footer, I doubt you'll miss them.
