get a sea kayak

yeah sure, it usually isn't as exciting as whitewater kayaking... but you can hold enough gear/food for 2-3 weeks of kayaking, (there wont be enough room for that much beer, but you can plan your trips around harbors that sell beer)
and you can do like 20+ miles a day if desired.

i support the self-support whitewater kayaking too, but the options are limited. 

i did some salt water yaking on the coast last fall, and that the tits.  surfing little swells in a 17ft fiberglass yak was definitely adrenaline pumping and warranted a helmet for sure











boom, sea kayaking happens
