How many kayakers are out there?

Question

Please tell me what you do with you kayak.

Alone or with buddies?

Answer 1

I'm a Kayaker on the Big Island of Hawaii.  I like big-game fishing and spearfishing off my kayak.  I always paddle alone, but I keep communications with a cell phone and a waterproof VHF marine radio since I paddle several miles off shore.  You can check out my kayak fishing pictures at:  http://www.flickr.com/photos/r_madrigal/...

Aloha!

Answer 2

If I'm just going to a local reservoir or lake, I'll go by myself.

When I'm going on a long trip, I always go with at least one other person but usually in a group. Safety is important, and it's more fun too!

Answer 3

I'm a river kayaker. And I'd say kayaking alone is a BAD idea. I'm always in at least twos, generally threes, sometimes more.

Answer 4

Hey! Rule # 1. Never boat alone. Minimum group is three boaters. Many water deaths are the result of ignoring this rule. You can wait at a launch site and hitch on with others. Leave a trip plan.
