Attn Kayak people

I don't know if there is a place in the Des Moine area that does this but in Cedar rapids, there is a water sports store that does demos in the area.

For me I started with a pelican 100 and bought another cheap coleman. They are fun and easy to use and get used to a kayak. The ascend does look like a good sarter kayak for play and alittle fishing. A wider kayak is easier to handle when fishing is what you want to do.

I am now looking at the Perception models. Something in the 12 to 13 foot range and narrower body. Something good for small rivers

 

I've got two of them snowman. Perhaps I could sell one of them. They are sit on top and one sit in for fishing. Use them on our pond up north but we don't need two... I don't know how much we paid for the sit in...

 

I have and still use LiquidLogic Saphires. Great kayak. My wife and I have been doing this for about 5 years and It just depends on the weight you carry and your feeling. Try to get out in a friends of someone you know just to get a feel for what you like. Some are tippy, some are wobbly, there is a difference. Good Luck and have fun playing in the water.
