Kids Kayaks

My wife and I bought two kayaks in college. We've paddled them on and off for the last 10 years and enjoyed them. As the kids got big enough we'd stuff them in the hatches (with the covers off) and head on our way. We finally reached the point where we needed more boats. Last summer we picked up a couple of little sit on top kayaks by Pelican called the Solo. It's a really small boat, only six feet long and rated for 140 pounds maximum capacity. If you're an adult, they're impossible to paddle, you pretty much submerge the boat. But if you're little, they're perfect. All of the kids can paddle them on calm water. From three to ten years old, they're about the best thing you can buy. They were $100, they're indestructable, and I don't think I could recommend a kids boat any more highly that these. Buy them, love them. Wear a life jacket.
