Interesting point.  I hadn't thought about that, but now that I do it does
seem like everyone I run across sea kayaking is around my age (early 40's in
my case).  One exception, though, is children of people I know who sea
kayak.  I do know some people with college age kids who are avid kayakers,
having learned from their parents.  A parent could do worse, no?  Sad,
though, such young people dying. . .
