The truth is:
1.) Sea kayaks are involved in the smallest percentage of all kayak accidents.
2.) A beginner would not even buy a sea kayak, and if they were talked into one, they would likely return it, thinking that there was something wrong with it, as they would likely tip over within minutes.
3.) Sea kayaks are expensive, high performance kayaks - made for experienced kayakers. They are narrow, fast, and are very easy to tip (we intentionally tip them to turn faster and to paddle in cross winds - this is called "putting them on edge" or just "edging".)
4.) Sea kayakers are the best educated of all boaters, have had more instruction (lessons, workshops, seminars, pool sessions) than any other type of recreational boater. So the majority of us do know what we are doing and we know the limitations of our boats better than almost any other class of boaters.
5.) The advantage of a sea kayak goes way beyond being able to do a roll in one.

Next time please do a little research before you bash an entire class of boater.

Evenstar...

That statement there is just as ignorant a statement as you claim Cal's statement to be. There is no for any bashing, by anyone. A persons choice in recreation is just that... thier choice.
