Dee makes a very good point about group paddling, My son and I do not paddle any more with the hard core paddlers, they can't stop their competitive drive to paddle hard from point to point. We were on a whale watching paddle and they had to feel the burn, not see the dolphins. So when you pick a kayak you have to also choose how you are going to paddle, fast kayaks do not make fun paddlers fast as paddlers training for ocean crossings.
