There should be a rowboat before or after the bike.
Mate you ever rowed a boat? That shit is hard work, it goes below the bike for sure
Of course, the pedalo manages to combine the worst of both worlds and seems to exist solely as a way to work your quads out without looking like you're doing a gym session
If you have good balance, I think paddle boards are more efficient than a kayak, assuming your not carrying a load. You can put your whole body into the stroke. Kayaking destroys my shoulders
I'm definitely biased here since I spent years kayaking and have only gone paddleboarding twice, and I also definitely don't want to just be all "lol skill issue", but I think this might be an issue with your (kayak) paddling technique. You should be using your whole torso rather than your arms and shoulders
I'm sure you're right. I only have minimal experience with both.
