After reading a Sea Kayaking book which suggests that the right way to get into a kayak is to sit on rear rim of the cocpit then slide your feet into the kayak and then sliding your torso deeper into the kayak until sitting - I am wondering - will the CLC be able to support a 240 pound guy like me or will it crack ?
