Kayak, I want!

YzGyz · 05-20-2016, 09:49 AM

Anyone here into kayaking? I'm trying to find me a nice cheap, tandem kayak. The only discrepancy is that it can't be a blow up one. I wan to be able to use it to go fishing along with simply paddling around enjoying the outdoors.

Any tips on Kayaking? What to look for in a used one? Where can I find one for cheap?

Thanks

If you are going to do lots of fishing, you should consider an hobie kayak.

I don't plan to do a lot of fishing but i might get addicted to fishing again. How much and where can I get the best deal on one? There are lots of lakes and stuff in the Houston area to paddle around.

Hobies are pretty expensive and never on sale but they're worth it. Lots of kayak fisherman swear by them. You can find them used on Craigslist for about 2/3 original price.

Ocean kayak is a decent mid range cost for about 1k-1500 brand new but can find them on sale for 7-8 hundred. Backcountry.com has a couple on sale but you might be able to find them cheaper at a tackle shop.
