I was just there today and was chatting with Rick. I ended up getting the yellow Stohlquist PiSEAs.

A little off topic but......
If you cant swim I would strongly suggest that you take swimming lessons.
That is a skill everyone should have.
Could save your life or someone else down the road.....
Plus it will increase your comfort level ten fold.

Just to set it right im a MAN/GUY/BOY

.
Well i went for the NRS Chinook. The reason i went for it was that it got thumps up from two folks on here. I liked the way the pockets are designed. Its rated for 16.5lb which is on the high side. The last part and yes it was the last part was the price. I found a cart on craigslist for $40. Slowly im getting set up

. Planning on going out there more to get used to the kayak. Hope no one minds me asking lots of Q cause i got lots more to ask lol.
