Got out for a little time on the water after work yesterday and finally it was windy enough to actually use the sail. It worked well enough for us to paddle around upwind and sail back to the dock when we were done. Not bad

Rotten Red Rod posted:So my recent trip to Hawaii put the kayaking bug in me, and I want to pick one up. I'm looking for a single-person, sit-on-top. What's the opinions on inflatable vs hard kayaks? I'd rather have a hard kayak as I've heard they have more maneuverability + speed, but I'm wondering if I should stick with something less expensive since I'm a beginner (and it'd be easier to transport, obviously). I'd only be using it on calm waters (San Diego, on the bay and in nearby lakes). There's an inflatables thread. https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3933118 I like mine but they're underperformers compared to hard kayaks. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and have a small car though so anything rigid is a non-starter.

You can get an entry level inflatable for roughly the price of one week of that rental for what it's worth. Even if you think it sucks it's not a huge expense to give it a try. I've owned and used a few different inflatable boats and they're pretty good if you're space constrained. They do have performance drawbacks and can be more annoying to care for but they're easier to store and transport. my smaller one fits entirely in a backpack w oars and all it's equipment and is no problem to throw in the trunk of even a small car. Costco carries an inflatable drop stitch SUP that seems pretty nice. I see a lot of people using them around here

Yeah I'm not gonna say they are just as good, if you want a rigid for home use get a rigid one. full drop stitch inflatables are similar performant to a rigid one but more expensive and harder to keep up/more fragile. if you're got the space and transport ability it's not much of a question. and yes there are kayak sales, they have models that change and go out of style or get replaced like anything else.

Salt Fish posted:I've been checking Seattle craigslist every few days and I've noticed a ton of 16' and larger kayaks that aren't selling, a decent number of 10.5's that seem to come and go within a few days, and just about nothing in the 12-14' range. I assumed that was the most popular category, but maybe people tend to keep those once they get them? Or they get bought up pretty quick? I've got several months before spring but its interesting how that middle section seems relatively rare in the used market. 16'+ is a big rear end kayak that I wouldn't expect to see much outside of sea use so they aren't gonna sell as fast as something more convenient to splash around flat water in
