Hobie might disagree but in my opinion no canoe or kayak is safe in
rough water, especially cold water. It doesn't take long to lose
breathing abilty in those circumstances. Don't ask me how I know.


The guides on white water raft trips use kayaks so that may not be
exactly true. They have the boots over the cockpit that tie around
their waist so the boat will not fill up and they will roll one for
the tourists for kicks.
