I'm only 63 and as limber as ever, yeah right.

Just takes some practice to learn to enter/exit a kayak in deep enough water that you don't scratch it all up, doesn't take great balance, brace the paddle on the bottom or the shore then the kayak is very stable.

Wax will help with minor scratches, won't keep gravel/rocks from chewing up the clear coat if the boat is on them when you enter/exit the boat though, it's not structural.
