Ocean Surf Kayaking

the Kaos is a good boat to learn in, it surfs well. With my old surf kayak,
I could only sit in comfortably for about 2 hours. Sometimes, while
teaching classes, I'd switch into the Kaos to give my legs a break.
There are other good SOT surf boats too, like the Islander Lipstick and
Bigstick. If you can find an Ocean Kayak RRRapido there Ok too.

Nothing will give you the performance of a Nice glass or Kevlar Surf Kayak,
or a good Waveski.

there are many people that sell SOT kayaks with the idea that you can just
climb back on, but I can roll a boat faster than I climb back on, and don't
have to worry about the boat being pushed to shore without me when I get
dumped. I enjoy both, and think both types of boats have their advantages
and disadvantages.

Try both. Where do you live?

I think I'm going to start with the Kaos and see how things go.
I live in Pennsylvania but spend a lot of time at the Jersey Shore.
