Just another resource to consider.
Empire kayaks in Island Park does kayak rentals, sells a variety of kayaks and supplies, and offers a 2 hour instruction course including self rescue-wet reentry ($50). When I called them last fall they also said they have a few yaks outfitted for fishing (not sure of the details there). They have a launching site right there and are accessible to the LIRR Island Park station.
I'm going to check them out to take a few friends out who don't have yaks yet or haven't gone yak fishin.
Could have good potential for newbies who want to try it before commiting to buying something.
Again I haven't been out there yet, just checked the website and called them on the phone.
