Hi,
I am planning to buy my first Hobie kayak for inshore fishing in Long Island Sound. The PA 14 is my first choice, however, I will need to spend more money in order for my son to come along. Would you recommend a PA 17 or to buy him a second one seater? My main concern is by far safety. Is the PA 17 safer than the PA 14? Which one handles win, swell, and boat waves better?
I know that other criteria’s need to be considered as well (Transportation, speed, storage space, price, etc..), and I will welcome any comment that would help me make a decision. Again, though, what I am really looking for is the safest option for great father and son fishing days chasing these stripers!
Also, my son is 12 year’s old. Let me know if you think that he is too young for this kind of fishing..
Thanks in advance for your advice.
Raphael
