O.k. so this is how a river guide travels arround the world, you need your kayak in a bag so that you can say that it is a surf board, this way you do not pay extra on flights, In your kayak you load it with all of your river gear. when arriving to the check in desk, make sure that you do not have a look on your face that what you are carrying is heavy, just smile alot. you then need a small bag pack for your clothes and a pelican box for your compu and camera. happy travels and enjoy the rivers of the world.
