Hello to all. Just dropping by, decided to finally join the forums. I've been wanting a kayak for a long time now. Im new to kayaking so I've tried out a few loaners to see what I'm comfortable in from Ascends, Jacksons and Tarpons.  Still trying to figure out which will work best for the budget I've got for a brand new kayak. The Ascend seems to fit the bill but still shopping around.
Hopefully now I can browse the full board.
Laters,
Jeff

Welcome Jeff, buying that first kayak is the hardest step, once that's taken care of the real fun begins and you wonder why you didn't do it sooner. See you on the water, Amos
