There is a place called Costco, where you can find some kayaks for an affordable price. Depending on the model, they are from $800 to $1000 dollars and according to most reviewers, these kayaks are decent but not made of great quality. Some say that if you get them in time (during the beginning of summer) it's completely possible to use them for one season or even two seasons. In comparison with more expensive models at other stores, however, many people say that they have several design flaws regarding their material strength. They are easily deformed by impact or pressure from inside, so when out in the water, all the paddler has to do is hit a rock or something, and BAM! your boat is leaking like crazy.
