if a kayak flips over you might die then and there

theyre hard to escape from

unlike a canoe

ever watch freestyle canoeing?

and unlike a canoe you cant just flip it upside down and have the water come out either

TBH in most cases you can get out of a kayak though or self right with your paddle

*”The Emperor,311 who had shared in all the dangers, wished both to moderate the inordinate heat and to avoid climbing the mountain peak. Accordingly, he attempted to swim across the very swift Calycadmus River. As the wise man says, however, "Thou shalt not swim against the river's current ."[Eccles. 4:32] Wise though he was in other ways, the Emperor foolishly tried his strength against the current and power of the river. Although everyone tried to stop him, he entered the water and plunged into a whirlpool. He, who had often escaped great dangers, perished miserably.”*

canoes are also safer against sharks

where the fuck are you finding sharks <:pot_of_kek:544849795433496586>

If you know how you can roll the kayak over

I aint seen any in wales or africa

the ocean

What a retard

If you take a canoe or a kayak out in the ocean you probably deserve to die tbh

there are kayaks designed for the ocean

and canoes are suffient ocean goers for at least coastal islands

this reminds me

did you guys know

that in uh

the 1300s

the africans

in nigeria

thought itd be a great idea

to make a vast armada

of canoes

and attempt to cross the atlantic ocean

how do you think people got to hawaii?

polynesians didnt use canoes

they had two edged sailboats

It was the evil white people enslaving them

A giant shark carried them as they say happened <:shrug:349342983763656705>

with platforms and ample food supplies

but anyways yeah

canoes are a lot safer than kayaks

i don't know man I know i didn't imagine the term war-canoe

War-clowncar

Actually shit that’d be terrifying

well i mean

how else do you think injuns crossed the water
