Re: Alternate power kayak

Hi Dave,

Bicycle Magezine did a little blurb on that boat. The manufacturer claimed 5 knots for a practiced FIT individual. Headwinds it was said lowered this number. Frankly, from the article it didnt appear any advantage was to be had with the legs for speed. I believe for a cyclist it might be attractive as a form of cross training. Other than that... why bother?
