Hmmmmmm.....going to have to respectfully disagree with you on that one. Here's a few reasons- all in good fun of course.
*A kayak looks like a brightly coloured plastic suppository that escaped from the Joly Green Giant's medicine cabinet.
*A kayak is what happens when a canoe and a recycling bin have a baby.
*Give a member of the opposite sex the choice between climbing into a cedar strip canoe, or a piece of floating Tupperware that tries to swallow you whole....well, I think the choice is obvious.
*A canoe carries camping gear, fishing gear, and weeks worth of supplies. A kayak can barely carry the emotional baggage of its owner.
*The only way a kayak is sexier than a canoe is if you're attracted to recycled milk jugs.
