Kayakers have a thing they are trying to get back to. It is a specific sensation that is hard to replicate anywhere else — the way the water moves under the hull, the silence that is not really silence once you start listening, the upper body tiredness that is different from gym tiredness. They know where to put in and where the current runs and which stretch is best at what time of year. They have gotten wet in ways that were not planned and they have opinions now about dry bags and about which clothing choices led to those outcomes. They may have gear they have upgraded or gear they have been meaning to upgrade for a long time. The gift for them is something that belongs on the water or makes the time there easier or longer or better.
