Since I lost track of what or why any of this matters to HB-162, this will be my last kayak post. You can have the last word. Although if I can find it, I will post a picture of me and my dad kayaking Winnipesaukee around 1988.

If you actually read my entire posts you would know. Other kayakers are "white water" or "recreational" kayakers. There are many different types of kayaks, just like there are different types of any other kind of boat. A sea kayaker is basically someone who paddles a sea kayak. This has nothing to do with "super powers" - it's about using a boat for what it is designed for. A recreational kayak just isn't designed for the same conditions as a sea kayak. And my sea kayak isn't designed for shallow white water runs.
All this is related to HB 162, simply because some people on the forum have lumped all kayaks and canoes into the same catagory - and stated that no kayaks belong on the main lake. Some have even suggested that we shouldn't be on Winni at all - but that we should stick to small ponds.
