I have a question on kayaks?

how good are Coleman inflatable kayaks?

we want to go river and lake kayaking, and perhaps on the sea too (very calm, no tide)

any suggestions as to a good yet cheap kayak? what about tandems?I have a question on kayaks?
Inflatables in general tend to be slow and will not handle well in windy conditions. I'd be concerned about the construction of cheaper ones such as the Coleman. I wouldn't take them anywhere shallow (such as some rivers) where they could scrape on the bottom. There are some high-quality inflatables that have construction and materials similar to a whitewater raft. However, they're also rather expensive, at least as much as a comparable hardshell.



Check out local kayak shops. Many offer cheap or free demos of boats, which is the only way to know for sure whether a kayak is right for you. Shops also often sell used kayaks at good discounts. You could also check out sporting goods stores, but I wouldn't necessarily rely on their advice since you can't be sure the salesperson has even been in a kayak. Another option is to check craigslist and classified ads for used kayaks.



As for tandems, that's entirely a matter of personal preference. There are some recreational boats that are 'convertible' with seats that can be adjusted for one paddler or two. Most paddlers prefer to paddle single boats. I've tried a tandem a few times. It's fun but it requires coordination and communication between the paddlers. For this reason, many paddlers refer to them as 'divorce boats'.I have a question on kayaks?
Go to a major sporting goods store and ask them what they recommend then shop for it on ebay at a discountI have a question on kayaks?
I'm definitely not a fan. If you've never been in a kayak before, you might think it's great for a month or so, but the novelty will wear off quickly. They are prone to holes / tears from rocks, and they provide more resistance (meaning you work harder) to move them.

Ive kayaked for 3 years, I have 4 kayaks 1 for salt, calm, river, and fishing,.

It all depend on what you want to do. it look like you are looking for a cruising kayak. You don't want any real action just having fun in the sun.



If you want a sit in i'd recommend going to A Dick's Sporting good store. They have a few good medium price range kayaks.300 Flat or less. I would get the Zeskey 9.5



If you want a sit on top kayak they are around the same price or less.

And the are very fun for taking the (husband/Wife or girlfriend/boyfriend) out in the ocean it will be easy enough for 1 to control while the other looks at the sea life below.



I got my FIRST kayak at Academy sports and outdoors. It was Pelican it is great for beginners easy to control and cheap. 220 for the newer model.





Im not to fond of inflatable. I bought one to see how long it would last, In class 1 rapids i busted it, *im used to riding class3 or 4*.

so i would not recommend the inflatable.





I hope this was helpful.!!!=)
