: Of course we have waves, but rarely very big ones. (And if we do,
: then I will probably be at home...)
: My kayak will mostly be used for touring. Both daytrip and extended
: trips with some cargo (For a week or two).

: Palle Dam

I agree with most everyone else. I use 4 ounce for most everything. I do practice alot of recues so I add extra glass in front of and behind the cockpit. I also double the bottom and add a layer under my feet and under my butt. Otherwise 4 ounce is just easier, finishes more easily and wets out clear.
