I found purchasing a sea kayak to be one of the more problematic tasks I've had to accomplish to enter a sport or hobby. A kayak that initially looked sleek and seaworthy now seems like a plastic bath tub. I found the reports in Sea Kayaker useful but limited. I suggest that we develop a standard Paddlewise kayak review format that would assist others in at least, narrowing their range of choices, for demonstrations, etc. We should differentiate between kayaks owned, paddled extensively and just demoed and also have the age, weight, height and fitness of the paddler as part of the review. The reviews could be accompanied with photographs and other owner's tips and suggestions. This could become a valuable resource for the paddling community. What do the Wisenheimers think?
