: I took a class and started doing whitewater kayaking this spring.
: Whitewater kayakers are obsessed with staying warm, which was
: very strange to me as a sea kayaker. If you are spending most of
: your time floating, you will probably get cold. If you are
: paddling, you will be generating heat, and probably a lot of it.
: In a sea kayak if you get cold you simply need to paddle faster,
: and you will warm up. (At least to a certain extent.)

: I've been reading a lot lately about people obsessed with kayaks
: and shoe size. You can't really get into a kayak with your feet
: at 90° to your shin, so it's irrelevant to measure that way.
: When you're paddling you'll have your feet either splayed or
: with your feet pointed forward, so again, not an issue. Before
: you start using it, though, you should read up on things like
: how to enter it. There is a good tutorial on Brian Schulz's Cape
: Falcon Kayaks web site. Here's the link:

: Looks good- finish it up and get paddling!

THANK YOU ! for the link, very interesting stuff. Spent all day today on the thing and didn't really do anything. I think I am afraid of making a mistake, so I am kinda procrastinating.
