Hi everyone.

I am thinking to buy a Kayak. right now I'm new and I need a bit of help.

I found in boat few rapids and falls to do white water. but they are far from the deck where I could jump in the water and I'm interested to travel and go to rafting with my kayak. right now I've looked for a RIOT Boogie 50 (www.riotkayaks.com/v3/ww_boogie50.asp).

Thanks for your help

seems you're a bit confused about this...

the boogie is a surf kayak. nothing to paddle whitewater with.

and rafting you do with a raft, like: a big rubber boat.

maybe you should get some basic understanding first, e.g. by browsing the web, and then ask again when you can be a bit more specific with your questions :)

cheers,
jeroen

i said rafting but i mean something like but in kayak, one recreationnal center is offering this near here.

but yes i saw my mistake for the choice. the only things i really need is to drop falls and down rapids. And be able to run the river to get to my spot.
my new choice should be: www.dagger.com/product.asp?BoatType=WWKayak&BoatID=321

or if anyone have a better kayak, it could be good to check any other choice that are offered to me.

thx

The mamba is a big creek boat. It will be great for running rapids and will be very forgiving but it you want to do any tricks in it then you will be unable. If you want the option of doing some tricks then look at the Dagger RX, Wavesport EZG. If you want a forgiving boat that will give the option of a few tricks the Wavesport diesel might be an option. It wont be very easy to throw ends in though.

EZG is a sweet boat. Has enough stability for paddlers who have only paddled a bit but is playful enough to cartwheel and surf.
