Good advice George. I recently asked paddlers in our club to raise their hands if they had bought a kayak quickly but needed to upgrade or sell it soon afterwards. Everyone had their hand up, so definitely try first, join a club and get some lessons. That way you will have fun.
Yes I think we all have made that mistake I know I did, after my 20 year lay off I picked up a cheap kayak, used it about 3 times then upgraded, and yes always best to try B4 you buy, so a club or hire is recommended. Glad you liked the post David 👍
Good one George! You included a lot of thoughts I've been reflecting on recently. Thanks for the shoutout btw. Completely agree about the risk of "shortly after purchase outgrowing a low cost kayak" and 150% agree about kayaking being a money pit 😂
Thanks Patrik, glad you liked it. A bit tricky this one because I wanted to encourage new paddlers but at the same time warn them, if you know what I mean.
You’re absolutely right to say kayaking is dangerous… to your bank account 😂 some great tips. I started with the Tucktec as I wasn’t sure if I was going to like it. I did some courses afterwards and found that I enjoyed kayaking even more!
