I am looking to buy my first kayak, but I'm not really sure what sort to get. With my club at the moment I normally paddle an inazone 232. I'm really looking for a river running playboat, leaning more towards river running! I would like a friendly boat as I'm still not that good yet :) Any suggestions would be greatfully received?

Also, this weekend I am trying out a pyranha i:3 222 that belongs to a friend of mine. She has offered to sell it to me for £350. If I like it, would that be a reasonable price for that boat?

Thanks Helen

The I3 is a nice boat, but GBP 350 is a lot of money for a older boat. Go for GBP 200 and maybe you end up in the middle.
I must say I liked my inazone more then my I3, so be careful.

Hi Helen,
Here is a comparison of the 2 kayaks you mentioned:

Take some different boats out and give them a bash. Listen to as many opinions as possible, remembering that they are exactly what they are, opinions ;). Good luck. Let us know how it goes.
