But I suggest you back up a step.

This is very important advice. _Never_ buy a kayak on one person's
advice. Every person is different and has different objectives and desires.
You have to try lots of kayaks to find what kinds of things you prefer
and then make a decision on which to buy. Once you've narrowed
down your selection list, rent one of each and give them an extended
tryout. You also have to try them under different conditions. Some kayaks
are great in calm water and lousy in rough.

I think Ed should have said "try" not "buy".
