I also suffer from L4 and L5 protrusions, and have the sciatic problems associated. In my case, paddling has helped me out very much by strengthening my core. That is not to say that there has been no pain associated with kayaking, but it has been very theraputic both in and out of the yak. I am rarely in the water less than 7 hours now. As stated, learning to paddle properly and not exceeding your limitations are key.
