I was looking at a used 2002 16' Perception Avatar but it's not Red.
HA On a serious note, I have only been Kayaking 4 times (sea
kayaking), 3 of which where in a pool but I cant wait to get out in the
wilderness exploring or just splashing around in exciting waters. It's
still up in the air for me if I want to go the Sea Kayak route or White
Water but regardless I DO plan to go to courses to learn all about it
so don't worry everyone, you don't have to reply with the usual
"Beginners should really go learn the basics from professionals" yada
yada. I have already looked into it and look forward to the social
aspect of the schools as well as the learning opportunity. Anyways, do
you have any suggestions as to how I can choose which type of Kayaking
would be suitable for me? I can tell you that I do love to explore but
also LOVE to watch whitewater kayakers battle rapids and it does look
like their having a TOTAL BLAST.

Hey, whitewater Kayaks are considerably smaller then Sea Kayaks right?
LOL, maybe that will be the deciding factor since the smaller Kayak
will fit so much better on my tiny little car and I can avoid the whole
roof rack dilemma?. Just a thought (which I tend to do way too much of
at times)

I type too much.
