I think the important thing to remember here is that most kayak owners simply enjoy kayaking as a recreation. Plain simple fun, relaxation and enjoyment. Sometimes we get to technical and forget kayaking is fun and appeals to many in the masses. As such we have a vast cross section of society and numerous kinds of craft. It's ok to have a plastic kayak, it's ok to have a folder, inflatable or whatever if it works for YOU!. You don't have to have a 5,000 dollar kayak and ten grand in add on's to enjoy the sport. It's nice to know about all that and what others are doing but if all you have is a plastic 9 ft sit on top.. your still a kayaker. We should never alienate any of those categories, but welcome them all with a smile. I learn something from each and every one and hope our sport/hobby continues to grow and be popular. It's all about having fun! It's about the adventure, the sharing and experience. Kayaks-gotta luv em!
