I'm not so sure of that. I bought my 17 foot boat from a 70+ guy who
had cancer. He was still kayaking until he got sick. Plus it is such
great exercise. You may *need* to be fit to fly, but you will *become*
fit by kayaking. It fixed my lower back trouble by strengthening my
torso (core muscles). In fact, kayaking is a great social activity with
most participants in their later years. Flat water kayaking is a bit
tame for the 20 year old crowd I guess.

Yeah, I assumed you meant white water or ocean kayacking. I'd forgotten
how popular flat-water kayacking is in the US and Canada and know very
little about it.

Good point about the social aspect. I think those who don't take part in
what are inherently group sports don't understand that side of the game.

Its the main difference between gliding and GA flying: since you need at
least three people to launch a glider (tug pilot/winch driver, wing
runner and glider pilot) almost by definition its a group game, unlike
GA, where you can wander onto the field, do the walk round, climb in,
start up and fly.

GA?

Being at the launch point and helping is part of the fun! (At least it
was for me when I was actively gliding.)

And there's also a lot of waiting around the launchpoint for suitable
weather - perhaps depending on where you are in the world!

Ditto.
