That would be a reasonable minimum for sure.

If you don't have any kayaking experience, you might want to try paddling the ten footer around without loading it up with gear to get the hang of it. When you can operate it without going overboard, maybe have learned a little about wind and currents, then take a fishing pole and a couple lures out on the bay.

Experience is a big thing. Keep in mind, some people can't sit on a six foot surfboard without falling over while somebody else is surfing ten foot waves. The only difference is experience.
