Try em

Kayaks are like shoes...not one fits all...!
Go to your local on the water dealer and try out a paddle kayak and try the Hobies too. One style may appeal to you more for a variety of reasons.
Transport and storage determine many a purchase. Are you going to car-top it...? do you have a pick-up truck...?...Or do you have room for a small trailer on your property?
Where can you store it out of the sun is important too...if you're in a condo or apartment maybe the inflatable Hobie is right for you or if you've got the room for a PA on a trailer at your house then "go big".
Where you launch and your style of fishing is an important aspect too...
If you surf launch in tough conditions and have a rough hike to your beach maybe something smaller than the PA is right for you...If you launch from a dock or harbor/lake then just about any size yak will work.
Try a few different manufacturers yaks before you make your decision.
Andy at OEX Sunset has Hobies as well as a few other yaks and the Mission Bay OEX store has a variety of models to choose from...both are "on the water" and have rentals available.
