A friend of mine who did lots of racing on motorcycles, skis, bicycles, canoes, kayaks has gotten to the point where just being able to move is a daily happening. Most of the 'tools' he used to have fun with back in the days have already moved on. The last item which I have at my home now is a We-no-nah J-180 racing kayak that is still in good condition. A single person kayak 18 feet long which no longer is made. If you've ever seen a race, you may have seen one as it's a distinct shape...very narrow overall, but built with a special wider section where the paddler sits. I think the price for this was over two grand way back when. Something similar today is in the 4k region. I have some pictures I can send you if your interested at all...to use or to just see.
