Like others have said, RENT, or watch for Demo days where you can test paddle so many models, there are pro's that can help you with what your really wanting out of your Kayak...
Then when your ready, and you know what you want, craigslist, or resale used kayak shop. I bought a kayak, that many hate, they say it's more for racing, well it's fast, Yes, but I learned how to paddle in that when I was a kid and never forgot the feel and the ride, So I paid special attention to finding one, adding my fishing gear and up graded my racing kayak into an awesome fishing Kayak. It's not as stable as the newer kayaks, but it's made for my balance and technique so I don't have any gripes. Good luck and take your time, don''t buy because it's cheap... Most people that buy cheap, end up wanting to up grade.
