Paddling pristine seas
Mention kayaking and many people picture the daring exploits of whitewater kayakers, tucked into their crafts as they tumble and roll down hostile rapids. But kayaks are versatile vessels that come in a variety of shapes and sizes—some meant for long tours through angry ocean chop, others more suited to short trips on serene seas. Our photo subject made a great choice with this flat-top model, perfect for trawling the calm, crystalline coastline of Crete.
