This will be the first kayak i have owned but i have gone out a few times. I was wondering if this kayak would be good for ocean, lake, and rivers and 1-2 day long trips? If not i would greatly appreciate any suggestions on kayaks.

Ocean, not so much- you might get tossed around a bit, plus your going to need a skirt. This bad boy is a 10 footer. It will be great for the lake and streams. Has a nice keep dry storage area behind your seat, plus all the bungee's you need- some other yaks' you have to pay for those little things. So for your trips- an awesome choice until you want to go faster. But maybe you will get used to this one, and not need the speed. All around good choice!! And it's on-sale
