Want a new kayk 16 years 7 months ago #22976

I have been kayaking for a while now, and want to buy my own kayak. I am 16, not sure how tall i am (sorry) I mostly will kayak in the surf, or paddling down slow moving rivers, so i would like a kayak that can do both well fairly well. It will mostly be used in the surf rather than rivers, and would appreciate any ideas and suggestions.

Thanks, steve

If you want a boat for surf and river running, look at a Pyranha Sub 7, also known as the S:7, Wave sport Score/Siren, Dagger RX. Pretty much any playboat made at least 5 years ago should work well for surfing. The only reason that they are currently being made smaller is to loop easier. Also, the main thing to look for is a boat with high front rocker and a fairly flat stern.
