How long can one continue to kayak? I think sea-kayaking, given otherwise decent health, is an activity one can continue to enjoy well into "old age". Not talking about battling storms and 20 hour crossings here. Just low-impact, refreshing exercise. How old are some of you folks? The most physically difficult part, for me, is lifting the boat onto the rack after returning so I lean toward kevlar and gave away the plastic boat. Is this the recommended outdoor activity for baby boomers ? My wife volunteered me to provide my super-low-pressure-very-simple-introductory paddles to her 50 something female never-done-anything-adventurous-but-likes-the-water friend tomorrow. Can I tell her, "You can enjoy this at least until your ???? old."
