In Response To: Re: Teaching Kids to Kayak (John Montgomery)

: I was wondering about how a kid would react to being towed. I don't think
: most adults take kindly to the suggestion unless they're all but
: incapacitated.

My ten year old son enjoyed being towed quite a bit (perhaps too much), for variety I'd tow him backwards. Taking kids out is a great opportunity to practice your towing skills and equipment. My 13 year old and his friend had fun towing each other, "splash wars", swapping boats etc.
