re: Need advice - Kayaking

You want a touring class kayak or a recreational….unless you are talking about rivers that have any rapids. You will also need a double bladed paddle of course and a good life jacket. I would call up your local dealers…most of the time they have demo days where you can take out different boats and ask questions like this.


If we are talking rivers like the Mississippi…I would recommend a Wilderness Systems Pungo 120 or 140. Sturdy vessels that don’t tip easy and are very comfortable for recreational kayaking and draft well for day touring.
