-- 
Kayaking, as I know it, is a swimming sport, and the kayak a prosthesis to make the swimming faster, safer, warmer, and more capable in difficult conditions. Kayaks and paddles enhance our swimming ability in the same way that skis enhance our running capability on slopes covered with snow. -- Dan Segal
