As an expert level sea kayaker I've seen such positive learning from other paddling disciplines. Like canoeing, surf kayaking and paddleboarding. But even to my also expert, super enthusiastic friends it's a hard sell to not paddle their 'perfect' boat that's perfect for maybe 5% of what we do and otherwise merely decent.
And I'm selling it as making them better in that very same 'perfect' boat. Much like riding different types of bikes makes for good learning. But most aren't interested in that.
