Just got into kayaking and have the whole family into it. We would really like to mount a camera like a go pro on the kayak. Any suggestions on which camera. Should we go with the go pro or is there one that is better for this application.

The Gopro style, or any action camera is a great option for a kayak. I've never purchased a real Gopro, rather I use the off-brand versions of the Gopro. These allow you to use every Gopro accessory, but only cost about $40-50 each. Over the years I've purchased four of these from Amazon. So for, three still working fine, lost one somewhere. Glad that I only lost a $50 camera, and not a real Gopro. I have one offshore kayak fishing video posted here...if you want to see what that looks like.

A lot depends on your intended distribution. How important is stabilized footage? Will you need decent audio or are you essentially making a "music video" (or narrative) overlaying the footage over an audio track?
I've been using DJI Osmo Action for my most recent kayak vids. It is on par with the Hero 7 in terms of image stabilization (pretty incredible) and audio quality ("usable" and definitely better than from any action cam inside a housing.)
