[Paddlewise] Kayaker rating system

Now I know its a system that will needs some refinement and won't work with
all paddlers, but I'm starting to gauge my ability as a kayaker by the
gouges in my hull! The Kayakers Gouge Gauge Rating system I think I'll call
it. I admit that the amount of gouges can have the opposite correlation
depending on whether in your style of kayaking you try to avoid gouges or
not, but either way it seems to say something. What can I say, I've got two
tiny leaks in my hull and I'm so proud!!!
