Re: [Paddlewise] Saturation Point

Paddlewisers,

I don't think that we can have too many kayakers.  We definitely shouldn't be 
snubbing new kayakers and discouraging people from kayaking because some of 
us are worried about our sport becoming too common or our water ways no 
longer secluded.  I'd much rather see a hundred kayakers on the water than a 
single power boat.  At least kayakers are not creating noise pollution and 
spewing unburned fuel and oil into the water and air like a power boat.  
Let's welcome all who may want to paddle and be happy that they have 
interests similar to ours.  Our sport doesn't have to be exclusive for us to 
enjoy it.  Don't have the horrible attitude of some surfers who think they 
own a break and harass any outsiders who come.  Let's share all the world has 
to offer us.
