The wait for that boat was supposed to have been about six months. Six months passed, and the dealer called to tell me that the only ones of the model I had ordered ALL went to east coast dealers. I don’t know if NDK/SKUK had underproduced, or if a connected east coast dealer somehow coaxed away my boat. Probably just the former case.
I was given the option of cancelling or waiting. I waited because nothing comparable was available. Yes, it was worth the wait.
I’d have to imagine he would agree if a better option was available.
Buy a used bicycle, ride it out there, sell it. Paddle your new boat home… 
Not this guy. Besides, can a kayak go through the Panama Canal; the Straights make for a long trip. My truck is 4X. I might do some side tripping if I picked it up. Take a month to go out and back to make it worthwhile. Tent and a sleeping bag. Road trips are good.
There are a few dealers 3-4, all west coast Canada. They sell direct for the most part.
Tandem bike you pedal. 
Ahhh. Now I understand.
Right - you’d need a tandem bike to match the tandem kayak!
I go solo.
Double kayaks are jokingly called divorce boats, and tandem bicycles are jokingly called divorce bikes.
I can think of five couples with tandems, including myself. And I’ll make it clear that I’m only including pairs who actually RODE
the tandem, not just owned one. The bikes did correlate to a surprising degree with the couples breaking up (I was among those). Only one of the five couples stayed together. However, in none of the couples did the tandem cause or hasten the breakup. Although that has probably happened to someone.
Double kayaks, I can’t think of examples whom I know in which the couple broke up. There are two pairs that would not surprise me if they did get divorced later; I just don’t know.
Speculate away. My gut feeling is that as long as both people love riding the tandem about equally (as opposed to one of them preferring the single bike), it can’t be considered a divorce bike.
Tandem kayaks to me are where the kayak is long enough where you don’t have to paddle in sync. The rest are posers
