	So in the next couple of weeks, i'm gonna buy my first kayak. I canoed a bunch when i was younger and i've always wanted to kayak so now is the time. Money is kind of tight so i'm looking for a good quality i guess you could say beginner kayak for around $500 or under. I'll be taking it on relatively short trips with mostly     class 2's nothing more class 3 rapids. I've been looking at the Old Town Rush. http://www.dickssportinggoods.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2228185&cp=2367826.2672652.2672651.2674153.2291570&parentPage=family&searchId=2674153 Would this be a good yak for what i am looking for? Any other advice/kayaks/links are appreciated.... thanks

Then that boat should be fine, and you should have no problem fitting into most if not all flatwater kayaks. GRITS New

Mostly I agree, and very well written.  But I wouldn't buy a used PFD geoffcj New

First boat should be a used boat, a new one is going to look like hell in a few weeks anyway. <NT> Louie New

How does anyone combine kayaking boatertalk and dicks lottery_winner New

Kayaking, BT and dicks????        I though there were a lot of dicks on boatertalk who were kayakers <NT> Louie New

I think DICK would be a better name than Habitat. Will_Carry New

The XL version would only come in black, the medium and small would come in white and yellow. <NT> Will_Carry New

Newbies, that's how...not stupid questions, just beginners.Lucky there are a few BTer's who will still answer questions! <NT> swampboy62 New
