Canoe or kayak, it just takes practice.
I started in canoes at maybe 11-12yo. Most times I went over was due to someone else. Practically lived in them in the summer.
Have a couple of kayaks now. Usually stay in the sound. Have been out in some pretty rough water, high wind and tide. One day we went about 2 miles. It felt like 20.
Start out into the wind, come back with it. Makes for a quick and easy return when you're tired from paddling out.
PFD highly advisable, especially when alone. I'm not the strong swimmer I used to be.
