<p>A <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/20293/beginning-paddle-boating/20315#comment52541_20315">recent comment</a> said:</p> <blockquote> <p>For kayak I’d say “usually 1-2 person” as tandem kayaks are very common. 3 person kayaks are rare but not unheard of, example Pamlico 160T has a third mini-seat for a child.</p> </blockquote> <p>When I am traveling on the <a href="https://outdoors.stackexchange.com/questions/7239/what-are-the-navigation-considerations-on-the-monongahela-and-youghiogheny-river">local bike trails and rivers</a> I about see the same number of tandem bikes as I do tandem kayaks. Maybe a few more tandem kayaks, but not enough that I would say they are usual.</p> <p>On the other hand in the same area, maybe half or 1/3 of the canoes I see are one person white water canoes, with the rest being 2 to 3 person canoes. I have never really counted any of these so maybe it is all personal perception.</p> <p>How common are tandem kayaks?</p>
