Note that in the group there will always be a double kayak or two. Real sea kayaking is mostly done in a single kayak, as it is more interesting to navigate. The double kayak makes the group safer: if someone is not feeling well or feels tired, it will be good for him or her to be in a double kayak with someone who is fit. If everyone is doing well throughout the activity, the double kayak will rotate between the participants.
