Jenna, last year I bought a kayak from ore equipment in youngstown, one of the website links. The person who waited on me was very helpful because he was an avid kayaker. They have demo days, Friday I think, you pick out akayak or two and they meet you at Lake Berlin and let you try it. Also, Mill Creek Metroparks in youngstown has escorted kayak trips every weekend on Lake Newprot. Yhe lake is shallow and flat water. For 12.00 dollars you get a kayak, PFD, paddle and basic instructions along with a 2 hour paddle on the Lake. Usually around 6 to 10 kayaks. Thats how I got started kayaking last year. The two previous posts are rightabout kayak size. I paddle a 9 foot dagger Zydeco, very manuverable and not to bad to keep on track. With a little extra efffort I was able to keep up with the group both times I paddled with them. I too am a new member.
