I want to buy a kayak, help?
I’m 5′5, female, about 130 pounds but will lose weight to about 120. I’ve never been in a kayak before and want a stable, easy-to-paddle one for beginners. I have my choices down to the old town otter, and the old town rush. which of those is better? and can you recommend any other good ones? thanks

Before you buy, I would find a rental or demo shop and try out some boats first. It really becomes a matter of personal preference.
In general, the wider the boat and the flatter the bottom the more stable it will be.
