Advice please

My buddy is 1.85m tall. He weighs 90kgs.
We intend bay fishing. Complete beginners. What kayak would you recommend?

I am 1.65m and weigh 75kgs. I was told on this forum the supalite x will suit me fine. And that's what I'm going for.


Thank you in advance

Hi Ridah

Kayak fishing is certainly very exciting and therefore need the correct yak

For you a supalite X is perfect as I have also started of with almost the same weight and length (1.68 x 65 Kg) on a Supalite and then changed to Pinnacle and was so happy due to the super stability and Hatch space.

Then moved to Stealth Pro fisha 475 and really ..this is the Rolls Royce of Kayaks...I only changed from Pinnacle to PF 475 because of my size...The I felt the Pinnacle is to buoyant and was blundered by the waves...I could not punch but instead went over ...and automatically if I hit the curl I was turned upside down..

On entry level I will truly recommend a Pinnacle Elite for your friend...(And you will also enjoy a Pinnie)
Malboer used a Pinnacle for many years with weight of 100 Kg and length 1.9 m and if your friend really wants the Rolls ...Pro fisha 575
