The possibilities are endless: Psychology: group dynamics, interpersonal skills (or lack thereof), aberrant behavior under stress. Cooking: Any fool can cook with a home range, food processor, microwave, etc. (and many do). It takes a real chef to turn out bread, pizza, and pie on a camping stove. Hydrodynamics: as reflected in and applied to kayak design Oceanography: self-evident Biology: marine and land based flora and fauna Astronomy: taught under those astonishingly clear skies, away from city light scatter. Mathematics: as used in navigation for triangulation and dead reckoning. Fournier analysis as applied to say, the interplay of standing waves with ocean swell, further complicated by clapitos. Further suggestions for the curriculum of the soon-to-be created Kayak U. are welcome.
