I bought one for that reason - when Joyce goes to work, I can go for a
paddle if the weather is suitable. Twice around Hamilton lake, total
distance 7.0km, average speed 4 knots, gets me nicely warm but not
exhausted.

In the middle of a city of over 100,000 people, I usually have the lake all
to myself.

Knee straps make balancing the Sprinter much easier, and if you don't want
water coming up the drain holes and wetting your backside, champagne corks
make ideal bungs (and are a pleasure to acquire).

Where even the Sprinter comes with a rudder.
