Looks like I'll have to give tennis away for an extended period because of
a tennis/golfers elbow that wont heal and I was hoping to get into sea
kayaking pretty seriously (boat hunting at the moment).

paddling did not hurt it further, and I'm an aggresive white water guy.
Sea kayaking is far more controlled (well can be...)

If you get a paddle with proper blade feather for your anatomy (check out
Werner sea kayaking paddles with totally adjustable feather) and learn
how to paddle from your shoulders with elbows always at the same angle,
sea kayaking should not exacerbate your tennis elbox. It could even help.

I find that muscle soreness or joint pain caused by one exercise is
often improved more by a different excercise, than by just sitting around
and waiting (i.e. "rest").
