Is the Dagger Max RPM a good kayak to start in?

I was told that I should not buy a kayak that old (they make them the same '98), but eddyflower.com they have such a thorough examination attractive, and I think I get a paddle, skirt, and two wet suits for $ 250. This will be my first boat, are they easy to ride?

The RPM is a boat incredibly acclaimed, best selling of all time. In fact, Dagger is producing this year. The Max is just one side slightly larger. Many people have learned in the RPM, and the people I know who paddle them absolutely love them.

It looks to address the effects of one. The only reason I know to watch out for older boats, is the plastic deterioate and eventually become sensitive, especially if they are stored outside. Yet, I rowed boats older than that and had no problems bouncing them off the rocks.

The RPM and Max are easy on the eyes easy to ride because of their low volume cockpit and the rounded hull. But whatever boat you end up with, do not take too hung up on whether it's supposed to be gullible or difficult to ride. A roll of good has more to do with the paddler with the boat.

and, because they look beneficial, i wouldnt mind one of those.
will this kayak be ok for calmish wates in the sea on a hot sunny day? also what are air bags and their use? also, how easy is it to upright yourself if you roll over?

i couldn't exhort which one to get as i don't paddle sea kayaks and you haven't given any specific models. but to answers your other questions.

airbags are put in the crabby of a boat to give it buoyancy should you capsixe and it begins to fill with water. the boat easily floats by itself but airbags rightful make rescue easier. since your paddling a sea kyak (i think, maybe you could confirm) you won't need airbags. there are sealed bulkheads in the bow and severe which provide plenty of buoyancy. this is because when your upright water is allowed into the cockpit but it never becomes swamped.

rolling (getting straight up) is very tricky. i got it in a few pool sessions but it takes some people months to learn. however, in a sea kayak what you can do is get a paddle float. this means that you can twirl your boat over and place the paddle across it. this gives you enough support to climb back in.

make sure you get a helmet and a buoyancy aid in a meet sixe. don't use a life jacket... they're designed to make you float on your back and are impossible to swim in.

if you have occasion for any more info you can email me or contact me in whatever way yahoo answers does that sort of thing.
