Have you ever used rec kayak on ocean?
Posted by: Wayfarista on Jun-19-12 11:54 PM (EST)

Thank you for the response, that's definitely a good idea to take a local tour. I have a friend who teaches, but she is up north and I plan to learn from her soon (though she couldn't recommend for or against the rec yak in the ocean). I'm sure any outfitter is going to recommend a sea kayak for the sea (which right now I am not willing to pay for). What boats have you used on the ocean and what was your experience with them?
