> Gear is good, but experience and wisdom is better. > First let me say that I'm not trolling here or working on any hidden agendas. I understand why you are opposed to kayakers having to be "safety certified" ( I don't like it either). But don't the findings of the "National Recreational Boating Survey" more or less support such a certification? Just what exactly qualifies as "experience." Couldn't the class to become certified be considered as such? The Coast Guard survey is interesting - I'm just trying to digest it's actual implications.
