Prijon FLY? 16 years 2 months ago #24796

Hey guys im new to kayaking and dont have to much money to drop on one. I want one that i can paddle on lakes, and take down some rivers and rapids without to much difficulty. I can get a used Prijon FLY for 200 dollars that looks moderately used. Is this a good deal and will this kayak go through moderate rapids and rivers well?

Thanks!

See if you can test paddle it on a lake first. Also, be aware that kayaking is a pretty expensive sport, when you look at a paddling PFD, paddle, helmet, skirt, dry gear and rescue gear. If you think that the boat is stable, then that's good, but ideally you would try to roll it. Since you are new and most likely don't know how to roll, you could tip it some and wet exit, but since it's winter, that would be a bad first experience. As long as you don't feel like you are constantly flipping and not much water gets in the boat, you should be fine.
