Personally I’ve never understood the kayak craze. They track well but the layout and carrying capacity surely leaves a good bit to be desired for me. When considering a vessel of that size I’d rather take a pirogue, they are more versatile. In the original post you mentioned being a larger fella, knowing that I’d look for something with higher sides than a kayak.
What you think these boys know about a pirogue?!
And shhhhhhhh. Keep it that way!
