Missouri Kayaking
right size/type kayak?
ok well im moving to florida soon and want to get a kayak and im unsure about it.
heres what i want to do with kayaking
-go on long trips (like a week or two) camping along the missouri/mississippi
-kayaking in the ocean
-kayak in the everglades
i dont want to whitewater and i dont have a big budget so i can only afford one.
this is what ive picked out so far http://www.gandermountain.com/modperl/product/details.cgi?pdesc=Pelican_Pursuit_140_Kayak&i=420290&merchID=4008&r=view
i think it would be ok on a calm river like the missori or mississippi but would it be ok for the ocean and the everglades? tell me what you think or if you have any other suggestions
Stop! Wait until you get to Florida. Locate local boaters and get their recommendations. Just for fun, make a list of the gear and supplies you will need for a ‘week or two’ of camping. Ocean kayaking involves whitewater skills. Think about breaking out of the surf. In the mean time read books about kayaking and camping. Do you have kayak skills? Do you need to learn? Search the NOC website for school and tour information.
