If you build two singles and paddle together..you will always have a kayak around to help you if you need to wet exit. If you build a tandem ...then you should be able to roll it with both of you in it. that way you don't need to wet exit.

It's about safety.

also two kayaks enable both of you to flit about like butterfly's. stern to bow is better for kissing than sitting way in front or way behind the other person.

that is as serious as it gets for reasons

Best Wishes
Roy
