Hi Folks, I just joined this group a few minutes ago. Rather than
search the postings, I'm going to ask a newbie question which has
probably been asked a million times....

What kayak should I buy?

Here's the skinny, I may (90% probability) be transfered (as part of
my job, not as soem sort of Star Trek beaming up and over process) to
Stockholm, Sweden. My wife and I are trying to figure out what hobbies
we can do and since we've both kayaked (in the sea) several times in
the past few years, we though we'd like to take up kayaking much more
seriously.

I don't want to buy a beginner kayak that I'd grow out of real quick.
I don't want something too advanced either.

I just bought an issue of "Canoe & Kayak" and wow there are a lot of
manufacturers of Kayak. Google searches also reveal numerous
sources.....I was also surprised how expensive these babies can be!
