Hi guys

Anyone know where I could start getting into canadian kayaks would like to try 1 out before I buy. Been on a standard perception boat but wouldlike to combine bushcrafting with kayaking so wondered if the Canadian style is better?
Any thoughts or expereinces

not sure what type of craft you mean, Canadians are generally open canoes, and kayaks are closed cockpit, but there are the sit on top kayaks a few people are using for journeying.  To try them out you could get in touch with some of the activity centres to see if there having a come and try session.
Mobile team adventure,
Highpoint,
Canoe Association Norn Iron,
to give you a start.

good luck
