Maybe even play around in the surf if you have the time/space. It's best to figure these things out BEFORE you load up your precious gear....

Yea i bought myself a NRS chinook which is the recommendation I got. It seems comfortable enough. You are right, I should mess around without tackle first. Even for the first attempt of fishing on the kayak, I gonna bring minimal gear, my cheapest set up, pliers and a small box of soft plastic lures.
