Whistler 140 $650
Re-designed in recent years, we updated this old favorite with a modernized deck profile, keyhole cockpit, and recessed deck fittings. Now featuring increased foot room, the Whistler is a great option for paddlers wanting to move up from a recreational kayak, or start out with a seaworthy transitional design. Stable and very user friendly, the upswept bow makes the Whistler highly maneuverable while keeping you dry when waves kick up. A great kayak for activity oriented paddlers like photographers or fishermen. Rudder is optional.

Skye $750
You've got a long way to go but it feels like a paddle in the park in the Skye 17. The long, sleek touring hull feels as effortless as a thoroughbred sea kayak but its still as easy to paddle as a tourer. With this speed and efficiency, its also a great load carrier: if you need to pack in enough equipment for a couple of nights in the wilderness, the long running length means your cargo will hardly even affect how it paddles.
