Cost-effective kayaks
If you have plenty of kayaking experience you might buy a lightweight, fragile, fiberglass kayak for $1,000's. I hope to buy a super neat kayak one of these days but for now, I'm more than happy with the Old Town plastics and you can't beat the price.Newbies are much better off with affordable, durable, plastic boats like the ones seen below from REI. You won't freak out when you scratch one of these boats. You can focus on what you are doing and enjoy yourself out on the water. You'll be safer, too, if you aren't worried about your equipment.
