I was the one who was saying this, and I was specifically saying it to Not Me, although I suppose it applies equally to you.
Kayaking is extremely relaxing, and is a great upper body workout. For lake kayaking, you have the serenity of gliding just above the surface of the water. Your paddle strokes evenly timed in a zen-like repetition. Or you can go kayaking in the sea or larger lakes, like Superior. Explore nature, go on kayaking "trails" up and down the coast, camping and getting away from it all. Paddling through the swells as the sun begins to burn off the early morning fog. I defy you to experience this and not be moved. Or, you can river kayak. Become proficient and perhaps someday experience the thrill of a first descent. Or, if even this is not enough of an adrenaline rush for you, you can run waterfalls, with terrifying freefalls into the maelstrom of water below. Kayaking has something for everyone!
