I'm helping out a sea kayaking friend; curious what people think about getting a beginner weighing 110lbs in a cyclone joryk New

Excellent beginner boat Jory - pretty forgiving... <NT> hamp New

agree--probably one of the best choices riogato New

In case their roll isn't good, try a sot like the kaos to get the basics down.. robcaseyphoto New

I just picked one up scrutton New

thanks much everyone.  So, now my question is, why are their suggested minimum weight specs for surf boats? joryk New

Jory, here is my opinion on the matter using me and Vince as examples: rollmickeyover New

yea mickey, good ideas.  It makes me think about a wide beam and maybe a taller cockpit on a bigger person boat joryk New
