The kayaking thing definitely seems cooler to me as a spectator, but the rental place (the local college) only has one person kayaks. I want my sons butt firmly planted in the same boat as me until he proves himself.

But instead of doing a local rental, I think I'll take Dryers advice and start off with some TPWD (Texas Parks and Wildlife Department) sponsored paddling workshops. They're putting on tons of them, and most aren't too far to drive. I just need to make some calls to see which ones are okay with kids. There are even some free ones in Galveston, about a three hour drive.

Correction: I looked it up, and Galveston is about a 3.5 hour drive.
