Kayak seminars like the one in Port Townsend often give some insight in the direction kayaking is going... or at least insight into where kayak manufacturers think it's going. This year it was pretty obviously British-style boats; the expedition-style boats were decidedly fewer in number. I wondered aloud what next year's boats would look like and someone mentioned surf skis. I'd certainly like one on the lake here for a super-fast paddle to my grandkids' house. What we need are more stories about trips on surf skis (that don't turn out tragically).
