Thoughts anyone??...............bob klemick 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 !
