Sure. If it’s something you really want to try, go for it. However, it’s not a good idea to kayak alone, especially when first starting out. Look for a kayaking group online or at sporting goods and boating stores. Find one that matches your skill level and kayaking interest. You’ll probably be able to “try before you buy” both the kayak and the group to find one that fits you best. If you’re a solo kayaker who will have to carry your boat by yourself, it’s possible to do so. Smaller kayaks can be lifted at the cockpit and carried by resting the inside of the cockpit edge on one shoulder. Also, wheeled carts are available to move the kayak from your vehicle to the water and back. These two-wheeled dollies go under the center of the kayak and use a strap to secure the hull. All you have to do is balance the kayak on the cart and walk it to where you want to put in.
