I'd like a kayak that is as multifunctional as possible. Meaning on I could go diving with but also play in the surf with after the dive, maybe fishing (but not an angler serie), some rivers and lakes, etc. How would the prowler handle itself in the surf or on rivers (not rapids, just slow rivers).
The wilderness tarpon 120 seems nice according to those videos
