Advise on starting out.

Well. How are you keeping?
I'm looking at taking up kayaking as a hobby. Done it a few times in a rental format and loved it. Always been more at home on / in the water then on land. Lol. Anyway I have been searching the internet for all the information I can but nothing beats first hand knowledge so all advise and help is greatly appreciated.
I'm living on the Limerick / Clare border. Most of my use will be rivers and lakes. However with the coast only a short drive away I would like a good all rounding kayak. I have been looking at the Easky 13 and 15 and also some of the Pyranha kayaks. River Deep Mountain High in Limerick have a Pyranha (not totally sure of the model sorry) for 700e. Was told its a great all rounder and good for starting off.
Will I get a good length of time out of a starter or will I grow out of it quickly and need to get another?
Any and all advise welcomed along with tips and ideas. I heard UL here in Limerick do lessons so I will get in contact with them.
Thanks.
