I started out with a Perception Pescador 12. It's hard to beat for an entry level kayak. Stable enough, tracks great, and pretty quick. The bad about it is the inability to stand, and the seat isn't the most comfortable. After a few hours you'll get uncomfortable.

I've never owned one, but I paddled an Ascend FS12T. Looks like they've gone up in price since earlier models. It was a bit slower paddling, but much more stable and comfortable than the Pescador. If you can find a used FS12T or FS128T for a price you are comfortable paying, as long as it's in good shape, I would jump on it.

Other than those 2, the other brands mentioned a few posts up should be explored.

This is why I said Ascend over it. I found out fast that I am one of those with coccyx pain without a stadium seat.
