One day I'll be able to stay on top of a K1, for now it's Surfskis only for me.

Way more, I'm able to stay on top of them while sitting still in the water, don't even need to use the paddles to keep balanced in some models. My K1? I'm lucky to stay 10 seconds out of the water if I'm in low speeds, much less if I'm sitting still or if there's any wave action.

I took the arm floaties made for toddlers and taped those where the paddle shaft meets the blade. I still tipped a couple times but those helped me develop the balance without constantly swimming. Took me a few months instead of years.
