Common misconceptions about kayaks
- Kayaks weigh less than canoes
- Kayaks are easier to get on top of an Xterra than canoes
- There are many places from which to grab onto a kayak when lifting one onto an Xterra
- Kayaks do not catch the wind when held up over your head
- They are made of a special resin that glides through the water yet is easy to hold onto when lifting.
- Kayaks are highly visible and known to be aggressive, so pilots of seaplanes give them wide berth and would never consider taking off or landing in their midst.
