In the last year I have gotten into the habit of using my smart phone (or smaht phone as they say in Boston) as my cylclemeter. In fact, I use an app apporpriately called Cyclemeter. Along with the prerequisite time/distance/speed it also maps the ride and compares it to other rides on the same route.
Now, this technology isn't exactly a secret, but this is: it works GREAT for kayaking, too! I use a pair of Bluetooth headsets, click on the music, start Cyclemeter and then pack the phone in a waterproof Pelican case.
The result is groovy tunes for paddling (I prefer surf and ska music when kayaking) and a relatively accurate measurement of my paddle efforts. So cool.
