The kayaking-related illusion I experience most frequently is feeling the 
restaurant booth move up and down after a full day of moving up and down on 
waves.

A perhaps related experience is the illusion that solid ground and 
stationary objects are moving after watching whitewater kayakers on the 
swirling water at Taylors Falls, a popular whitewater practice spot on the 
Minnesota-Wisconsin border.
