Hi Larry,

    While sitting on the floor with your legs relaxed. What position do your 
legs naturally relax into? This is not at all like walking or even sitting in 
a chair. I would be surprised to hear that kayaking causes any kind or hip 
problem. Although I have little doubt that someone with a hip problem could 
find the kayaking position quite uncomfortable to endure for any length of 
time.
