    I mean, what else to spend spare money on besides the things I enjoy. Like other people spend thousands travel. I spend the same amount on a box of Warhammer. Jk. I can’t afford Warhammer.

      No! You’re supposed to be miserable for your entire youth by saving and investing every penny you don’t need to survive! That way you can afford all the medical bills and therapy you’ll need when you’re old and retired and have had a life devoid of joy!!

            I’m not sure yet, I’ve been researching what to buy since then and I found this guide. It sounds like a sit-on-top with a flat hull is good for beginners, and I have a preference towards nothing inflatable also.

            If you have any recommendations though, let me know! I also need to get a roof mount for my car.

              I don’t have any specific recommendations, and the guide from dicks seems sensible. I will say that, having used both sit-in and sit-on, I myself definitely prefer sit-in. And I’m not a pro, I mostly use mine on calm lakes and gentle streams. My only piece of advice is to not cheap out and buy some $250 piece of junk from Walmart. It’s not going to be fun and will probably turn you off of kayaking immediately. You shouldn’t have to consciously think and make an effort to stay upright, the boat should just do that on its own. I like the brand Old Town, but there are lots of good boats out there. I hope you enjoy it.

                Oh but it’s so much more fun on a canoe trip, on rivers. Everyone trying to tip each other’s boats (except the food boat). Sit-on kayaks tip the easiest but recover quick
