I think Joseph Smith is so cool. He would have kayaked if kayaks were around then.
I think I could relate with this man a bit more.
"I am not learned, but I have as good kayaking skills as any man."
"I told the brethren that Mormon Creek was the
most gnarly of any creek on earth, and
a man would get nearer to God by running it, than by any
other creek."
"Never be discouraged. If I were stuck in the biggest holes of the Colorado River, with the Strainers of the Trees of the Redwood National Park piled on me, I would hang
on, exercise faith, and keep up good courage, and I would come out on
top."
...actually kayaks were around then. Check it out the history of kayaks on Wikipedia.
