I've been keeping a log of all my whitewater paddling for several years and find it very helpful. I keep some records of my sea kayaking but have not been as consistent. I've found the log very useful. I usually record such things as the location (put-in, take-out) the river level, the weather conditions, which boat I used, who I was with, comments about any new equipment, what I was wearing, descriptions of which route I used through certain rapids, hazards, and notes on memorable events (Such as "went swimming in Lunch Hole," "incredible surfing at Rodeo Hole," and "so-and-so discovered first hand why they call it Snow Blind.") The most useful aspect of the whitewater log is the record of the river level and descriptions of features (holes, waves, eddies, drops) at a given level. I'd find comments about whitewater, sea kayak, and canoe logs interesting.
