: Heck of a deal to get into, kayaking.

Absolutely--what a fantastic way to give in to wanderlust!!

: The water and waves are not forgiving
: at times, but the effort to control them is worth it.

Whoa. You cannot control the water and waves. Ever.

Your efforts to deal with them safely, though, are worth it, a thousand times over. Not being a wet blanket here--take the time to learn to kayak safely, establish a strong skills base, learn to roll. You won't ever regret it. Go for it, but go for it after truly grasping "what to do".
