Maybe illusion, maybe not. I find paddling in glassy water farther boring
than paddling in waves, and this affects my humor. But from my experience I
can also say that boat designs has a lot to do with it. My kayak ( Nordkapp
like ), is slow in flat water compared to many others, but when things turn
"choppy" I easily keep going and going while the rest remain fighting to
stay upright.

Best regards !
