What about that motorized W review from England?
It might not be as cold as Vermont, but it’s further to the North…
Anyway, Florida, Texas and California are still leading the count – so far

Indeed.
Since then we got a dozen new reviews from northern W kayak fishermen and fisher women from Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont, Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin and Washington, as well as from Ontario and British Columbia, in Canada.
This represents an unusually high ratio of northern to southern kayak fishermen, considering the fact that kayak fishing is still largely a warm climate activity.

I just bumped into this article from last year: http://wavewalk.com/blog/2008/01/20/northern-kayak-fishing-the-new-frontier/
I thought it’s amazing to see what’s happened at Wavewalk since it was published.

I like canoes but I have to admit that solo canoeing isn’t that easy, especially in strong wind.

I agree, and you can paddle the W from the middle or from the stern, depending on whether you need more speed or more maneuverability.
W kayaks are also narrower than most canoes, and that helps in paddling too.
