i would never go kayaking alone, although independence is key.
if you do go alone make sure you do all the proceddures before you leave like tell people where you will be and when you will be back so they can warn the life guard if you are not back.
if i was your dad i would probably not let you either as you could end up tipping over and having to bail, youd be cold wet and alone.. not a nice position to be in.. maybe try going with just one friend?
good luck and happy paddling!!

If I were your parent I would make you cook dinner…….
No, no just kidding.
Unfortunately, you are 15 and gotta live by the old man’s rules.
When you are 18 and out on your own, go have some adventures.
Until then do the best you can.
Good luck, I feel for you.
