>> The typical wake of a kayak is pretty small. Probably small enough to travel pretty easily in 1 foot of water. If the water was just being pushed to the side, not much would change in shallow water, but because the water must find a fast way to get out of the way, shallow water slows you down. Nick >> I have experienced severe drag in a Perception Sea Lion in one foot of water. I haven't noticed it in my Romany, but that might be because I haven't paddled it in similar water.
