Educational Facts About Kayaking
Kayaking originated thousands of years ago with Arctic indigenous peoples who used seal skins stretched over wooden frames for hunting on water. Modern kayaks and gear rely on durable synthetic materials to handle river currents and lake waves. Paddlers use a paddle with blades on both ends, tilting it from side to side to steer across water.
