One method which would be quite easy although not as accurate is to 
paddle with a heart rate monitor and a speedometer. 
>>>

I ride the same 10 or 15 miles every night after work on my bicycle and I
maintain the same average pace within 4/10 of a mph over the distance. My
heart rate varies significantly, 10 to 15 BPM, with the same speed and
conditions depending on what part of the workout and other parameters I'm
not aware of.

I doubt using a heart monitor would be too meaningful in comparing kayaks.
