Mike et al, (no pun intended) > > The ACA ......estimates 24.8 million paddlers in U.S.A. If the foregoing is even remotely true I'll eat my paddle float! Can 24.8 million be a community? How many people actually tour kayak as opposed to day trip? Are they competent, equiped paddlers or inexperienced and ill-equiped? Are some of these 24.8 million arm chair paddlers, kind of like the Round Table Pizza Guy? I'm thinking alot of these boats go nowhere, like those well-polished 4 wheelers nose-to-nose in rush hour.
