Kayak Deluxe

Is this a good beginner kayak?

I want to start kayaking. I live next to a shallow, flat and still river. Would this be a good choice? If not, what would?

No. It's too short and too wide and you will quickly become frustrated with it. It will be very hard to paddle in a straight line and also hard to steer. With such a flat bottom it will not perform well in wind or any waves -- you could be flipped in a strong power boat wake. The product description is basically a lie. The material it is made out of (RamX plastic) is flimsy and does not hold up well. About all this is good for is bobbing around in a pool or fishing in a small pond.

If $200 is all you have to spend you need to remember that you will need to buy a good paddle and a PFD (live preserver) is required in all states. Those will run you from $100 to $200 in addition. A cheap paddle will make for a miserable experience so don't even think about getting one of those $30 aluminum things -- you will hate it. You will get a better deal if you look on Craigslist for a used boat. Look for one at least 10 or 12 feet long and narrower than 25" . make sure it is a touring boat and not one made for whitewater. At 8' long and 28" that boat at Gander mountain is barely what I would even consider a kayak, more of a rowboat with a deck.

Before you waste your money, I would recommend renting kayaks a couple of times and getting the feel for what they are like. Then go to a kayak outfitter shop, NOT a general sporting goods store or big box retailer, and talk to an experienced salesperson who will fit you with the right kind of boat so you will hae a safe and enjoyable paddling experience. For the kind of water you are talking about paddling in, you might even be happier in a small canoe than a kayak.
