We have been thinking about getting a kayak for a number of years. The Appalachian Rendezvous of the past 2 years has really pushed the idea...
We stopped by Outside World near Dahlonega "just to look". They carry Native, Wilderness Systems, Jackson, Hobie and a couple of others.
Not knowing exactly what style to get, we talked with (OK, listened to) one of their knowledgeable folks. He asked some questions, showed us some boats - and one really caught our eyes. Surprisingly, it's a tandem. I was expecting to get 2 kayaks - 2 people, 2 boats. I guess not...
The boat we like is a Jackson Kayak - the Kilroy DT. We were able to get in it, and paddle around their pool. It is roomy and comfortable - it looks like we can camp out of it for a week (or a month!)
I have read the various searching for and review of kayak threads on here, and appreciate the wealth of knowledge and information available. It made my searching my easier/quicker.
The plan is to pick it up one day this week, and take it with us camping this weekend!
