I love to go kayaking. it is great to get across the water.
I enjoy open water kayaking as well. Where was the last place you went kayaking?
I went on the river near my town. It is much different from canoeing because you are sitting in a different position.
Yes, kayaking feels like you are hovering above the water while canoeing you cut through the water.
Yes indeed, they are very low to the water, and you have your legs in the front.
I find that I actually have more stability in a kayak compared to a canoe for that reason.
I agree with you, most of my kayaks have closed decks. I even have an inflatable one, they are starting to get popular.
I have never tried an inflatable kayak. I will have to try that at some point.
Sometimes I wish i could pick it up and make it fly.
As in it is that light? Or would you like to hang glide?
