Good advice Bernie Girl......

I did just that, went to a business that rented kayaks, and got a REALLY nice used kayak at about 1/2 price of new. There's also the option of using Craigslist to find a used kayak. Usually, the rental companies turn-over their rental inventory every couple years, and they're open to offers.

Let's face it.... if you buy a new kayak and pay full price, use it a couple times, getting a few scrapes an scatches on it, it's now used !

Most likely you can find a better quality 'used' kayak, for the price of a new
lower level kayak.

Just my opinion.......
