: I think you probably mean playing in recreational kayaks. Check and
: see what the draft is. My whitewater playboat actually has a lot

: Loon and it seems to have very very shallow draft of only
: 2-3", so it would be less likely to hang up on rocks, but

Actually my plastic canoe takes far less water to float than any of my kayaks and is also far more manuverable than all the kayaks other than the WW kayak. Takes maybe 3" of water to float the canoe.
