I like to look at this more in terms of skill level. 
Does having a high skill level and pushing one's
limits make them a freak?  Pushing the limits and
challinging one's skills should increase one's skill
level (even if those limits are beginner limits). 
Does the act of learning make one a "freak in
training?"  One reason I personally like this list is
its educational value.  Does participating in
paddlewise make us all "freaks in training?"

In the kayaking context, what is the definition of
"freak?"
