Ever paddled a kayak (SOT or not)?


Yes. I've paddled a Current Designs something or other and
a sit-on-top whose provenance I don't remember. Perhaps I'd
get used to it in time, but I don't like the way you sit in
a kayak and I can't for the life of me figure out why you
think getting into and out of a kayak is EASIER than getting
into and out of a canoe. Most emphatically the exact opposite
for me. I feel like I'm WEARING a kayak as opposed to paddling
it, which is a good thing I suppose if you want to squirt
around in white water, but that's not my thing.
