Hi Kayak community. I'm typically the type to do tireless independent research but being new to kayaking I'm finding the sheer number of options for what I'm looking for overwhelming.

My criteria below:

*Available in Canada/Pacific North West * No strict budget * Storable in an apartment. I have space for a modular (don't have the option to hang) * Transportable in a mid-sized SUV without a rack * Enough stowage for 3 day camping excursions with lightweight gear * Primarily will take this on flat/calm water but will be doing some coastal kayaking in bays and arms in the Pacific North West. * Decent handling and speed * Something that is relatively quick to set-up/tear down. I live within walking distance to a spot where I can paddle so would take this out for short trips (2-3 hours) as well as longer camping trips.

It seems like the Advanced Frames Expedition Elite would tick all my boxes but everytime I search this forum I see more recommendations and conflicting views on inflatable vs folding.

I recently rented an Old Town Castine 140 and really loved how easily it handled for the coastal paddling I did. I'm not expecting a folding/modular/inflatable kayak to be as easy to maneuver but something similar would be awesome.

Thank you in advance for any recommendations you may have.
