Lots of factors are going to effect your speed on the water. Current, wind, profile (wind resistance), paddle stroke, and length and width of kayak are your main culprits. Current and wind are going to be your most noticeable factors on a day to day basis. With no wind or current I can maintain 3mph quite comfortably, and have had my yak (Trident 15) to 6mph on a short burst. I have also paddled like hell and barely made 1mph into wind and current. It is good to keep an eye on your speed in different conditions cause it can help you learn your limitations and set your boundaries.
