If out of the next 10 (20, 50?) people who buy a kayak, one would have bought a power boat if (s)he would not have been introduced to kayaking, we're making progress in the right direction... <SNIP> Bring on the growth...< Amen brother! I guess I consider myself one of the converts; I grew up waterskiing and kneeboarding in high school--and thought it was pretty cool. Now I haven't been in a motorboat but 3 times in 7 years, and then only to go fishing with my father. I no longer have any intention of buying a boat "powered by hydrocarbons". Of course, I now am found more often on waterways less frequented by powerboats, being of a presence where formerly I was not. Of course, overall, my water-recreation as a whole is now causing a heckuva lot less pollution and impact on the earth.
