Used to kayak as a kid, and enjoyed it. Figured I wasn't getting any younger, and after borrowing a cousins a couple times, last year bought myself an inexpensive kayak. I am a chubby 62 year old, and have a lot of fun. I don't do white water, just creeks and small lakes. I found a friend with one and we go together. I got a two person (tandem) inflatable at a yard sale this summer and took my grandkids. We got wet and loved it. Next year I want to kayak a bit on the Erie Canal. (Already did it in a 36 ft sailboat, all the way from Buffalo to Albany.)

YOU GO!!! I love kayaking. We "flatwater" as I'm not as athletic as I used to be, lol. My boat is a tandam as I like to take my dogs.
I'm ready!!

I have a Nephew who is a Kayaking Guide in Hilton Head. He is great at it but will never get me (his favorite Aunt) into one. His pics are gorgeous but i have a real fear of being that closr to the water. I envy those who can enjoy such a beautiful sport!

We have a single and tandem kayak that we use up in the Pacific Northwest...mostly on Lake Roosevelt...and I prefer the tandem because I am not the only one paddling!!! DH sits in the back and I'm up front, when I get tired, I can rest and we still move along. There are a couple of kinds of kayaks, the sit-ons and the sit-ins. We have the sit-ins but did try the sit-ons in the ocean in Jamaica. We like the sit-ins because we can pack everything for a weekend of camping in them. Missed that this summer by being in Florida :cry:
