hey tj welcome to the sport.
i have been kayaking for a short period of time. i first started out using a cobra marauder but after the first time out i switched over to a hobie. i haven't looked back since. i know that some say that it is expensive but that is all relative.
i look at it this way. if you enjoy doing something and know that you will be doing it for awhile then why not just enjoy doing it more comfortably? i enjoy fishing and not really into kayaking. the kayak is just a tool that gets me to the area that i want to fish. i don't really look at it as a way for exercise but i do get some since i am out fishing in it.
i have been out when the wind kicks up and peddling is a challenge; but if i was paddling i know that it would be much more difficult. also i like the fact that i am fishing more than paddling.
so in the end i would highly recommend buying a used hobie and if it is out of your budget, save some more money and buy it then.
hope that this was helpful.
