Kayaking: A Relationship Test

Kayaking in Nicolet Bay with your sweetheart evokes dreamy thoughts of paddling in perfect harmony and creating unforgettable memories of Peninsula State Park.

But when vacationing as a couple, the decision to rent a double kayak or go it alone in two singles can be the difference between the Kayak experience of your dreams and total relationship destruction!

Let’s consider both options:

One Double Kayak:

In a double kayak, it’s like a coordinated dance routine: one person tries to paddle in sync while the other tries to avoid smacking their partner in the face with the paddle.

They argue over who’s supposed to be in charge of steering, only to realize that they’re both steering in opposite directions.

It’s a test of teamwork that can lead to harmonious paddling or hilarious bickering over who’s in charge of steering.

Two Single Kayaks:

Now, picture each person in a single kayak.

Each person paddles furiously, heading in completely different directions like two renegade squirrels on a mission.

Shouting across the water, they attempt to communicate their plans, which mainly consists of them yelling, “Stop! You’re going the wrong way!”

Either one person ends up miles in front, or the journey resembles an impromptu race, with each person trying to outpace the other, occasionally colliding and sending each other spinning like toy boats.

The double kayak is the ultimate test of partnership, where both have to work together to avoid circling aimlessly. Single kayaks offer independence and the freedom to paddle like a lone ranger but might leave lasting resentments in the… ahem… less physically gifted of the pair.

Whether paddling in sync or rolling solo, both options promise you and your beloved a memorable adventure at Nicolet Beach!
