Helicopter pilots are in constant danger of action stars climbing aboard their craft and throwing them out; kayakers, however, need only fear falling helicopter pilots. Steer an unstealable vessel with today's Groupon: for $39, you get a half-day kayak trip from 2K Adventure Gear in Richmond (an $84 value).
Nestled next to the Illinois and Wisconsin border, 2K Adventure Gear provides water-cruising voyagers with outdoor activity gear, guided adventure tours, and sport-vessel rentals. Glide across the waves of Lake Elizabeth with a half-day kayak rental (a $40 value) guided by a knowledgeable kayakologist with accompaniment of up to 20 fellow kayakers. The four- to five-hour session begins with a basic lesson (a $40 value) covering paddling techniques, the how-tos of turning, safety precautions, and the mechanics of utilizing your craft as a giant kazoo. Once you're ready to cruise the earth's natural cereal bowl, cozy into the 12-foot Old Town kayak as your journey leads you through scenic views of the area's wetlands, fauna, and flora. Though a water bottle (a $4 value) will be provided to quench parched palates, hungry water warriors looking for a more filling chomp can top off the day at The Sand Bar & Island Grill (not included with this Groupon).

The Groupon Guide to: This Year's Coolest Gadget
Technological achievements have made gadgets more advanced than ever—the only problem is that no one knows which ones are the most must-havingest. Solve that problem with this list of the year's coolest gadgets:
- SolarScoot: This urban scooting transporter, made of imported Brazilian coacaba wood with decals designed by Tristan Cuehlo, certainly isn’t embarrassing for a full-grown adult to be riding in front of other full-grown adults.
- SongDog: Days at the dog park have never been more fun with this urban technophile's dream—a helmet that gently hypnotizes your dog into bark-singing your favorite MP3s.
- MirrorMD: Ideal for the young, health-conscious urban professional, this miraculous mirror reads your skin pallor, muscle tension, blood sugar, and retinal-reaction speed, then recommends that day's mixture of vitamins before predicting your D.O.D. (Date of Divergence).
- UrbanDogHat: Compatible with SongDog and the forthcoming SongDog Pro II, this techno-leap is another kind of hat…that dogs can wear!
