Mark Olsen likes to say that kayaks are like shoes...one size doesn't fit all.
Think about the type of fishing (fresh or salt) the type of launch (docks and lakes or Surf launch) your transport vehicle (car, pickup, trailer) and lastly your storage space or lack of.
Get answers to all these questions then go to OEX and try some different manufactures kayaks. OEX not only has Hobie's but they carry just about all the popular manufacturers models. Both their shops are on the water in Mission Bay and Sunset Beach so it's really easy to try a few and see what fits your size and lifestyle.
Good Luck and enjoy, as it's quite an addiction...!
