Want to get into kayaking.
I live on the west coast so i will probably use it in the ocean, if that is relevant.

Don't feel like green texting on phone...

It's 1930 o'clock (730 for you idiots)
You're a half mile out at sea
Been casting that line at the local reef all day long.
Absolutely stunning sunset on the horizon
Kayak is suddenly losing air.
Shitmypants.jpeg
Paddle as fast as your tires arms allow
Full on adrenaline racing to save your 1200 dollars in bait and tackle
Frantic splashing attracts a familiar friend
Jaws.jpeg
Kayak is now a plastic bag in the ocean
All your gear is 80 feet underwater
You're a quarter mile from land
And a school of sharks is eyeing your candy ass poorfag status

If a shark bit into a plastic/wood kayak you'd still sink you literal brainlet.

They come with air pumps and patch kits dumbass, it's not like you're fucked if you get a leak.

Also no sharks here

Inflatable kayaks are fine if you live in an apartment, op

I've had the 10' version of the kayak in your picture for about 5 years now. It paddles all right and it's pretty durable. I also got the "backbone" thingy they sell, which really does help with tracking and rigidity. I can tow it on a bike trailer or take it on the bus if I want to. Inflation and deflation is pretty quick, except that people keep asking me questions about it.

That said, a rigid boat is better unless you have a reason why you need something that packs up small.

Seriously, I've tried using an inflatable kayak for a while now, and they suck. They usually don't have much weight, so you're gonna get blown around by the wind. You can stay in place with an anchor, but if you're paddling into the wind, you're fucked. Plus, I'm stressed out using fishing hooks and filet knives on mine. You may not have these problems, but they sucked for me.

The minimum is 15' if you don't want the Coast Guard to come and pick you up. Fortunately good used sea kayaks can fall under the $900 range depending on the area you're searching.

Get atleast 12ft sit on top kayak. Look up ocean kayak prowler 13. Going in the ocean is all about knowing the surf, weather and swells. Just because the surf is 1 to 2 ft doesn't mean you won't have to deal with 4 to 5 ft swells offshore. Also it sucks getting blown half a mile by the wind if you stop paddling for 5 mins.

Also strap everything down you dont want to lose. You will dump coming back in.

I've been using the Advanced Elements inflatable kayak (the one in OP's photo) for a few years now. It's convenient for transport and not difficult to set up (always use the backbone with it, unless you're just interested in a large pool toy), but I can only recommend it for flat water. On the ocean, this boat folds like it was made of paper. You might get away with some ocean paddling near shore on the calmest days of the year, but off the coast of California the water rarely stays calm past noon.

It's rated for class II rapids and I've had mine out in 2-3 foot waves on the great lakes, I wouldn't take it out in big surf or real white water but it's not just a flat water boat either.

This is American logic.
Shit built houses is tornado zone
Shit built buildings (can't even take a little plane crashing into it)
Inflatable boats

You really are a joke to the rest of the world.

It's also an open cockpit tandem shaped like a seed with a low weight limit. There are plenty of things about it that will get him killed, no need to nitpick.

It's only open cockpit if you leave the cockpit open.
