This is what I tell them and which might help newbies that stumbled upon this article. Everyone's taste differs and a kayak that is perfect for one person might not be perfect for the next person. All one can do to find the perfect kayak is to go to a kayaking renting store and make it a mission to rent different kinds of kayaks and test it out on water. As a beginner, you won't be able to ride rapids and go far into the ocean but you will get a pretty good idea how you feel inside the kayaks. After you paddled in a few of the kayaks, make a list of the top 10 types of kayaks that you like. After you done that, go do some research. Find out everything you can about these top 10 kayaks. Look at reviews and forums and see what other people are saying. After that, you will have narrowed your list down to about 5 - 8 kayaks. Do some price hunting, keeping the extra's like the accessories and equipment in mind that is going to cost extra. Then compare the prices with your budget. What type of kayak, with its accessories and equipment, will fit into your budget. After that you might have 1 or 2 kayaks to choose from which you can buy. This way you will find a kayak that you like and falls in your price range. Happy hunting and kayaking. Remember, always play it safe on the water. Hi Beth & Kyle
