Seems to me that blow up boats would be pushed around by the wind more than heavier solid boats. I've been thinking of getting something that I could take to local beaches to float along within a few hundred feet of beaches and maybe occasionally on a medium sized lake. Of course they would be great on a smooth as glass mill pond like in the video. Let us know how those things work in the ocean. Gotta admit, I like the high comfortable seating although it can't be as stable as a low sitting position.

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.

Ahhh, you've fallen into Canadian waters, or maybe Maine waters.

Actually northern Lake Ontario in the early spring, about 25 miles
south of Canada.

When I was a kid, I accompanied my dad to a camp on a lake in New
Hampshire. He had sold them a truckload of rowboats. We got there and I
saw a bunch of kids swimming in the lake. I jumped in...cold doesn't
begin to describe it. On the other hand, I used to go swimming at Revere
Beach when I was a kid, and that water didn't feel that cold. I'm sure
it was, though.

About 1970, I took my race car to the GeorgeTown hill climb. Is near where
gold was originally discovered and the race was up a paved road. After car
broke, we went for a swim in the North Fork of the American River. Kids
said, it's warm. Only reason was not ice, was the water was moving to
fast.
