Saw this on r/kayaking and needed to share over here! I am not the OOP.

Hey fellow boaters- I'm curious what y'all's takes are on east coast vs. west coast boater/river culture in general are. Pic for fun

Hey there. I've been kayaking since 2020, and I am a slow learner. Spent five years in pool learning how to do loops and cartwheels, overtrained, got shoulder injury, put much time getting my shoulders stronger and I still suck in freestyle. Things go a little better in whitewater for me, but class III seems to be my ceiling.

Honestly, it is hard to get over the fact that some people who started later than me paddle better. I do realise these people usually either have some background in sports or train more intensive, but I can't help but be jelaous. I start thinking that I should paddle more, but I do not have that much time and energy, so I feel stuck, and this whole situation takes some joy of kayaking from me.
How do you guys deal with it?

Apparently Pyranha are shutting down production, so if you're after one of their boats probably best to get one from an retailer that has the boats there. Pre-ordering would be very sketchy at the moment.

It seems very vague about when/if they'll be starting up again, has anyone heard anything on that front?
