On more than one occasion in a following sea I have laid my paddle across the cockpit of my baidarka and relaxed. I was curious to see if my paddle partners could keep up at a typical cruising pace. No racing here keep in mind. I have yet to have anyone keep up. The baidarka is an amazing machine. I think it might be compared to a Macintosh computer. Well loved by its owners but not to be picked up by the masses. I'm keeping mine.
