Up a creek...
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2010-04-19 15:42Saw this on a web page listing various "dumbest things" people had managed (no it WASN'T me):
I was once canoeing alone in the middle of a lake when the wind began to blow very hard. I was paddling into the wind as hard as I could toward home when I realized that despite my best efforts I was making negative progress. This realization caused such a burst of anger and frustration that the way I thought best to express my feeling at that moment was to hurl my paddle into the water. My only paddle.

Cardboard Canoe
Submitted by cac on Fri, 2011-07-22 22:25Not exactly a real ocean-going kayak here, but a bit of fun. As always, be careful with things like this.

Poo Canoe
Submitted by cac on Tue, 2009-07-28 18:14Well, it's really a kayak, but "Poo Kayak" just doesn't flow.

Transparent Canoe
Submitted by cac on Mon, 2008-07-07 21:24I think that would take a bit of getting used to, but in the right waters, it could be really slick.
Bikes and Boats
Submitted by cac on Wed, 2007-09-12 13:55We've had boats (of course) before, and even bicycles and electric bicycles, but I don't know that we have combined the two :-)
Wike offers a Canoe and Kayak Bike Trailer... if you are into the smaller paddle craft, this might be really handy.
