Kayak help please
Why not build a skin on frame kayak...a REAL kayak?
Polyester cloth over wood frame. Works great and you can custom fit it to your own body. You can also build your own paddle. You have all winter to get it done. Buy a thule rack and a nice PFD. Chris wrote: Good afternoon: I am in the market for a Kayak and this is proving to be a nearly impossible decision. I have a Honda Civic so I have been looking at inflatable kayaks because I dont see how I could get a rigid one in/on my car. I will be doing most of my kayaking on Long Island Sound which is a local estuary off the Atlantic Ocean. Water conditions can range from nearly flat to 2-4ft waves. I cannot spend more than $500 on a kayak and I want a single person boat. If someone could steer me in the right direction I would really appreciate it! I want to know what type of kayak I should consider and how inflatables compare in these conditions to rigid ones. Also I'd like to know if shopping for a used kayak could be a good option. Thanks in advance for your help. Chris |
