I had a stroke 4 years ago. Most people can't tell until I tell them, but, I definitely still have issues. My balance is not great and my left side is weak and uncoordinated.
I think I MIGHT be able to handle a kayak, but, I can't be sure without trying. I suspect I would need one that is more stable than average. I would also be using it for ponds and areas where I may need to move it by myself for some distance over land.
How do you try a kayak before buying to know how it will stack up to your needs?
