The near coast also depends on where the sea is, and if the waves are large, kayaking is still relatively easy to capsize.
Paddling through the Andaman Sea, where it is relatively calm, long-distance cruising is very comfortable, and also paddling through Bali, Bali is a famous surfing place, basically unable to paddle, the shore waves are very large, and it is difficult to rush out of the shore.
Kayaks are divided into white water boats and still water boats, and your needs are more suitable for ocean boats of still water boats.
The ocean boat is relatively long, the aspect ratio is better, it can maintain a high cruising speed, there are storage compartments in the front and rear, and it is also a sealed cabin, so that even if it turns over, it will not sink, and the boat itself is a floating object.
But kayaking is a collective sport, no matter what the water, it is safer to act collectively with more than two or three boats.
You can practice Eskimo tumbling in still water, and you can roll over without taking off the boat when you capsize, but this is also more difficult when the waves are strong.
