To expect Cosco to carry quality brands of Kayaks is a bit naive. If someone feels they can be satisfied with a poorly molded plastic piece of "refuse", and mediocrity sounds like a supreme and nearly unattainable goal, then by all means, consider Cosco. If you enjoy progressing to a high level of competence in each sport you do, and expect to love kayaking, and to grab as much adventure for your self as possible, then I would hope you set your sights a lot higher than Cosco." >AMEN! Although, as long as the boat floats, it will work for introductory purposes. My first bike was a Huffy - sure it sucked - but it got me going. As for the ignorant who choose not to seek help or education in their adventures - God will tend to the weeding. I only hope that those under the care of the ignorants will be shown mercy by the river-gods - but not likely. Protect yours and yourself and seek out those in need of education. If you happen to look like a "Helpful Harry" and are told to mind your own business - move on peacefully. People like that "PFD=training bra scoutmaster will get theirs soon enough. - hopefully w/o taking your young scout with him. - Educate your kids.
