Bought My First Kayak Yesterday!

you can get a seat that straps to the top of a cooler of your choice and you can sit on it. much easier than sitting on the deck and would be a nice place to plant your butt when going through the riffles. the standups are made for flat water, but i don't see why someone couldn't use one in the rivers around here. as a rule i try not to errantly ram into things on the river, but there will always be those submerged roots, trees, rocks that you can't see/prepare for, avoid. a pfd, might be a good idea as would wearing a helmet, depending on the water. might look like a dedede, but less chance for a head injury.

when I fish CC you often have no choice but to hit stuff so standing up is not an option.

Except during low water when you have to get off your butt and drag over the limestone slabs. But then those slabs are so slippery, you might just end up on your butt again.
