Dr. Dick got into kayaking at age 55 and became an L4 ACA certified sea kayak instructor. Now, at age 79, he is actively teaching and can be found on Lake Michigan 12 months out of the year. As a retired cardiologist, Dick has a different way of approaching "old" age and has encouraging information for those who want to remain in the game. bookmark

Kayaking is a sport that can be enjoyed even as muscle size decreases as we get older. Many, unfortunately, base their age on their date of birth. There is, however, another "age" to consider. There are also some practical approaches for older paddlers. Humor has been known to interfere with this subject.
