Standing in a kayak is a pain in the butt.  I’ve tried, and it doesn’t usually work.

There was a guy back in the 90’s who used to stand-up kayak down the Ocoee river. He also used to wear a wooden helmet and PFD that said, “The Next Big Thing” on it. It was very cool.  I’m sure he’s a Stand Up Paddle Boarder now- and possibly invented the activity.

Doing Kayak Fu standing in a kayak… now THAT’s the next big thing.
