I feel funny asking this but I have never seen anyone get into a kayak. I don't see kayak's around my part on Indiana. I watch a kayak TV program and have never seen anyone get into a kayak. I did see a guy already in a kayak setting in shallow water on the sand bottom and he put his hands down into the water to lift the kayak off the bottom and to push his self into deeper water. My kayak is 28" wide with a big cockpit and it is hard enough to get in with out tipping. I get in calf deep water, put one foot in and quickly fall to the bottom before I start shaking like a man on a tight wire. I can hear the laughter, but I have been wanting to ask this for months.
