New to Kayaking, Advice please?

Hello everyone,

I'm 19 and I've been kayaking on and off over the last couple of years with different clubs and stuff.

Now I'm looking into buying an inflatable quikpak k5 kayak - I'm getting this one due to not having access to my own transport at the moment and having to take trains to my destination.

Basically I just want any advice you can give me on whether or not this is a good craft for a beginner? Things like,, is it easy to transport, easy to inflate and deflate (qprox how long does deflation take etc) and any other advice you can give about kayaking.

Also, would this kayak be easy to control on flat water creeks and is it reasonably speedy? I'm looking into more day trips but would also like to take it out a few mornings a week before work for an hour or two.

Thanks! :)
