I just addicted a whole family with kayaking! 
Now they need yaks. Unfortunately cash is a concern. I was thinking of starting them with sof's. The largest paddler is about 270lb how will a Greenland kayak handle with someone of this size? What is the best book to start them on? I have Morris and Zimmerlys books, is there a better book they should use?
