I've never actually been kayaking before and I may never go at all after seeing the Yogakayak. The Yogakayak is designed as an ergonomic alternative to conventional kayaks, which can cause back pain and discomfort to users.
The Yogakayak is designed to be paddled in a kneeling position that takes pressure off of the back and redirects it towards the buttocks and calves. Obviously, the Yogakayak isn't cut out for whitewater rafting or big wave adventures, but for a nice shoreline stroll, this piece for sure can't be beat.
