The fact that this is an "Intro to kayaking" should be reinforced. Situational awareness should be emphasized. Don't become so preoccupied with form or fun that you forget about potential dangers around you (boaters, wildlife, weather). The primary concern when departing shore should be a safe return to shore. That it doesn't matter which vessel was the giveway vessel when you are upside down in an oyster bed. Chances are the offender is long gone by the time you recover.
