Well... it's gear-intensive, and new kayak cost is perhaps 30-50% of the total bundle (and still much more than $500 for the super new skis). Dry-wet clothing, accessories (purely kayaking and general-camping), paddles - this all is developing faster than kayaks. One of reasons of our luck could be non show-off nature of this sport. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
