just a tad curious guys, being only 15 im in the market for a new kayak, i was originally thinking the hobie sport but im a long way from that at the moment.
my current options are the
Viking Espri
WaveDance Kingfisher.
what are the pros and cons of both the yaks?
cheers in advance

Re: Espri or Kingie
Mate, don't think you could go wrong with either. I can't really talk much about the kingy other than the positive reports from others but the espri is a good stable yak and very versatile. It's about half a metre shorter than the kingfisher from memory and a smaller payload. Most people who have had an espri don't get rid of them when they upgrade or regret it if they do. I still use mine for certain types of trips and for visitors. Happy to take specific questions, especially on rigging them for fishing.
