Buy New Kayaks
Of these three kayak choices, I would recommend the Ocean Drifter to anyone whose looking for comfort over versatility. It's kind of the Lazy Boy of the kayak world. I've never had a more comfortable paddle, but then again I've never had a slower paddle either. It really is heavy!
Kayaking is an increasingly popular sport, and one that has been popular for quite some time now. Kayaks come in many different guises and are made of many different materials in numerous colours for all sorts of activities. When you want to buy new kayaks either for yourself or someone else the best idea is to try them out; not necessarily in the water but go to a shop and see what type suits you best. You don't necessarily need to buy new kayaks there and then, just window shop.
There are essentially to types to consider when you want to buy new kayaks: sit on and sit in kayaks. The type you choose will depend on what you want to do, but here are a couple of reviews to consider when you next buy new kayaks.
Cobra Fish n Dive.
If you want to buy new kayaks to be used for fishing and you're not so handy with the power tools then the new 2005 Fish n Dive from Cobra is ideal. The new model is just as stable as the old which makes it quite slow but will hold the biggest of kayak fishers and all the equipment he or she could possibly need. It features a moulded bucket well to hold a bucket full of tackle and 6 (yes, 6) areas for rod holders. It may be a bit slow and cumbersome but is perfect for the kayak fisher who has a lot of equipment.
Ocean Kayak Drifter.
If you are new to kayaking and looking to buy new kayaks for the first time this could well be the kayak for you. It sacrifices speed but makes up for it with incredible comfort in the cockpit. It's ideal for the big man who wants to kayak and even features a moulded cup well. This is a kayak that is built for lazy pleasure and not for extreme fast water speeding.
Wilderness Systems Tapron 160i.
The latest offering from Tapron is the updated model of the 2 hatch model and seems to have been designed for a combination of fishing and longer paddles. It is incredible thin and glides through the water due it's streamlined shape. It has been designed with fishing in mind because there is plenty of option to add accessories where you most need them.
These are just 3 of a vast array of kayaks available and if you are looking to buy new kayaks then shop around and see what you can find that suits you and your needs, but whatever you decide, happy kayaking.
