My name is Bill, I'm recently in the market for a kayak for abalone diving on the northcoast. I was diving with a group of NorCal Underwater Hunters and they turned me onto NCKA after I realized how much better a kayak would be for free diving. Now I need to figure out what kayak to get and set it up. Any suggestions?

Welcome to NCKA Bill!

There is a swap meet at the headwaters kayak shop in Lodi on April 5th, you may find some deals there on new and used kayaks.
