Squid i never knew you could stand up in a kayak.

I've only ever been in a kayak once.  It was fun and much easier than rowing a canoe, and of course lighter to carry.  But also I got more wet from drips off the paddles as I paddled.  Is this normal?

The fishing kayaks are heavier, wider but more stable than a normal kayak. Also you sit upright on top, rather than sinking into one, and you can stand on many of them.  If you just want to cruise around calm waters, get a normal sit on top kayak. Multi-day trips, get a long touring kayak.   There are so many varieties and materials these days.

With drips, I think the ones where you sit low, like a touring kayak, you get less water coming off the paddles. But, tbh, this is the 1st kayak I’ve owned.  This one is very drippy. Goretex pants on non-hot days for sure.  I think Kimmy has mentioned kayaking...  she may know more about them.
