Hi all. Only stumbled across this forum recently but been a great read, boatloads of experience clearly! 

I did not grow up fishing but am now in my early twenties and have been a few times and am keen to get into more. I won't be splashing out on a boat any time soon but figure I could probably justify a kayak as a way of getting into the sport. 

Are there any forum users around who have more than one yak and would be willing to take me out and teach me the ropes before I commit to buying one myself? More than happy to chip in for gas and beers etc as well as providing marginal chat. Alternatively, I was thinking I could just get a cheap surfcaster and start there.

I am keen to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation or just has any general advice! I am based in the Waikato so can travel to Raglan/Auckland/Coromandel/Tauranga areas. Cheers in advance! :)
