How insane would it be to try to paddle a pool toy around? Like one of those big inflatable orcas you see people trying to fuck, or a particularly large donut tube thing
I'm looking at buying a kayak but everywhere locally either doesn't sell them or has like one or two in stock but are ridiculous 2000$ models for racing and shit. I just wanna faff about in the water as a fun but cool(temperature-wise) workout and get a nice tan off the water
>>1842366You can get small inflatable kayaks for as little as 50$, proper hard bodied ones start in the few hundreds for shitty extruded plastic models and thousands for ones made of carbon fiber or real wood.
kayaks, due their size, are typically pretty light. historically, they were made to be carried by the person using it. Abbos and greenlanders would make them out of skins lashed to frames, modern ones are usually plastic or fibreglass shells or are steam-bent wood on wood or metal frames.
>What are those standing kayaks called? Paddleboard. They're constructed more or less like a very stable surfboard. They're a lot slower and less stable than a kayak on calm water but being basically a surfboard you carry a paddle on, they were used at sea shores to take advantage of swells
