Pax 18 questions..

Posted by Andrew K on May 27, 2007

I've been eyeing this kayak as a summer project. I've paddled on and off for a bit (I'm only 20, guessing most here are a bit older) From the boats I've used, my favorites are always the race-oriented ones, even if the object of the day is just to go out and relax. Would the pax 18 be a bad choice for a general use/ fitness type boat? if so, please suggest some other options, preferably ones that are not significantly more difficult to build, I've got a bit of experience with woodwork, veneer/thin plywood forming (mainly vaccum press) and fiberglass/epoxy, but this is my first boat.

by the way, I'm 160LBS, and about 5'11''

Thanks. Andrew
