I want to buy him something stable but fast, with good space and thats not hard to paddle. The yak has to be one from malibu kayaks cause im gonna buy it from the sale this saturday. I was looking at the exfactor but its kinda wide making me think its slow? Waiting for your guys inputs. Oh and Storage is not a problem. Thanks.

Sale Where,When?
I'm looking as well and your brother and are are built pretty much the same.
I like the tridents but the malibu X-13 looks like a great choice too.
I'm looking forward to the pro's kicking in on this one! But a Sale really !

I too, would love more info about this sale you're talking about....

XFactors and Stealths aren't that much slow. It's how you paddle them

But they sure are stable!

my x factor wasn't slow. sure it got slower the further you went, but making it from the launch to the squid grounds i could keep up just fine with my buddy on his outback.

id go with a stealth 12, 14 or x factor. even an X 13, the extreme however is an extremely wet ride from what i remember.
