First there's the paddling aspect: I just finished posting on this blog a series of seven short articles on teaching children how to paddle a W kayak. If you read them you'll see it's not very difficult. Second, there's the fishing aspect, which can be taught from a very early age, gradually, starting with fishing from shore, docks and big boats trough W kayak fishing together with an adult on board, and finally independent kayak fishing. The W's stability and ease of use makes it a lot easier for the kid, especially since he or she can cast and reel in fish from a high position and even stand up in confidence when doing so.

I wonder how do you teach a kid to fish from a kayak on his own? Arnie H. I saw another post on this blog about children fishing from kayaks.
