I too know that liquid logic is a good brand, my parents have two of them. Also, a mistake many people make is getting a kayak that is too short for them = unstable. Be sure to get sized correctly ( do not buy a kayak from Dick's, or Sports Authority, or Gander Mountain ) ...... go to a store specific to "paddlers" they're truly the only places that actually know what they're talking about - and often prices are way better.
