I have 2 types. One a flat bottom built for an adult & one small kid...... The other is more of a keel in front & back similar to this one.......

It tacks we easy & as you paddle you adjust w/ each stroke.....

I kayaked today 3 miles. I ws going to do 10 put it was over casted & we sun loving Nor Cal ppl chill easy..lol

I have gone in fog, rain etc. Just not feeling it today......

Now is the time to buy a used kayak.. Creggslist usually has great deals. A decent paddle's can be had also........ Get an off set as they will give each stroke more power.........
Thanks, lucky to have access to the water....

Ironically I live close to a small lake but they play with the keys that access it - the ones on the lake keep the ones off (me) it from it. I have to get out of this state. I have a 70 pound canoe which I would carry down the hill and sneak onto the lake, then .......
...... anyway got older and it is too hard to sneak it onto the water.

Eh something to add to my list .... Need something light and fun + need money

The white water ones, round bottom tip easy ?
I am not too worried as I used to be aquatic, if there was water I was in it.
