OK, Here's mine. I have to economize so I have only 6 items. 6. My kayak has a rudder, too, and I enjoy using the rudder. When I had a motorcycle, I rode it 3.5 miles through Phoenix traffic without using the handlebars to steer, but no one criticized me for actually having handlebars. In fact a red faced policeman went so far as to encourage me to use handlebars in future even if I don't really need them. I think the same applies to kayaks. 5. I have both a canoe and a kayak, and furthermore I live in California. 4. I have never done whitewater kayaking or kayak surfing and have no interest in doing either. 3. My kids are better swimmers than I am. 2. I did not build my wood and glass kayak ... I didn't even buy it directly from the builder. 1. Though I will never ride a jetski I do enjoy riding in or driving almost any powerboat. I think driving a 38 foot salmon fishing boat through the Straight of Juan De Fuca was a gas. Renting a 6 HP aluminum boat in Glacier N.P. was also a gas. Even putting a little 12 volt trolling motor on my canoe is a, well, an electric gas. jerry.
