A friend of mine made his own trailer to tow his canoe behind his bicycle.
It worked fine, except that going downhill was frightening because the
bicycle brakes didn't work too well at stopping such a heavy load.

I would think a light kayak would be a little better.  However, you might
look into seeing if it's possible to put rear brakes from a tandem bicycle
on your bike.  They're made for stopping heavy loads.
