I have three now. My wife came home with a pair of kayaks yesterday.











I wouldn't mind having a kayak.



Every year since the old Magnum PI series, I've thought about buying a 'sit on kayak'. Then I come to my senses. I think sitting almost flat like that for any length of time might be tiresome.



The current fad here is a stand up paddle board.

I've seen videos of those boards and they are available at our local Costco.
I wonder how hard it would be to paddle in 1-2 foot waves?

Very hard, flat water only based on what I've seen. They've become
very popular at Caribbean resort beaches. I have fond memories of a
good looking young lady paddling one in her birthday suit at Orient
Beach in St Martin. Sorry no pictures, wife was making it difficult
for fine arts photography that day.

Too bad, I imagine a few of us would have enjoyed those photos... or video.

This is a flat water sport. I suppose there may be some surfer dudes
who could paddle out through the pass with 4' standing waves but I
have seen newbees dumped by a tiny wake ... or just fall off for no
particular reason.
