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.
