>>1328811Go for it, my dude! Kayaking is one of the most chill outing activities you can do. It's really nice going through rivers and creeks especially, in my opinion, as you get to see so many cool little vistas you might never have known about. Or you can just go out there and relax for hours, float through the water and read or do whatever mindless activity if that's more your speed. It's a fairly versatile hobby.
And I wouldn't be too concerned about getting a cheapo one. It's almost never a good idea to go out and buy the most expansive grand thing whenever you're first trying out an interest anyway. My $200 kayak has served my perfectly find, and in some cases has actually benefitted me more than an expensive one would have because I've taken it through some pretty harsh rocky rapids that it only survived through because it's made out of thick ass plastic, whereas a more expensive kayak tends to be more lightweight and delicate.
Would definitely recommend going for it though if you're interested and have the finances! Have fun!
