Hi All,

Recently moved quite close to the sea in Hove, about 5 mins walk. Contemplating purchasing a Kayak to make the most of the Summer months, potentially a double seater so i can take my sons out (one at a a time!)? Any advice out there on where to purchase and good models to go for?

Cheers All!

I like the fishing ones, your boys may enjoy the fishing aspect of them too.
They have holes in the top and you poke a rod in and troll a lure behind, great for Bass fishing down here in SW.
I sometimes stop and drift and fish down on the bottom as well.
Word of warning. It's not all fun take advise on all the safety aspects and buy a waterproof cover for you mobile and watch the tides.

If you get cold, don't light a fire in it. You can't have your kayak and heat it.
