kayaks are death traps! first, you gotta be strapped to it, so if it sinks or gets washed away by the current or theres a waterfall on sight you cant escape quickly enough. then they got this tendency of rolling over and drowning the rower, who cant surface because because they are strapped to the kayak. top that with sadistic instructors who wont turn you upright because they say you gotta learn “how to roll” with the kayak and a little sea sickness is the least of your worries… and dont get me started on rental fees!
You ought to try a two-man kayak. They’re much more stable. And roomy. Sort of the boat equivalent of one of those rolling-sofa luxury motorcylces.
Do you know how much I love that your mom is taking kayak lessons? A lot.
my kayak rocks…
AND rolls.
i’ve never been in a 2-man kayak before. i think you’d be right about it being better if the other person knew how to roll up-right again. hey, tell me if this corny joke works: a two-man kayak is inuit for “yuppie cannoe”.
Once upon a time, I let my little sister blindfold me and lead me through a REI. I should have known better. She promptly walked me face-first into a kayak, which resulted in a trip to the hospital and about seven stitches.
I don’t know if it’s related to any of you guy’s kayak stories, but it’s the only one I’ve got.
Jason Turner is a generous and thoughtful man.
