The Kayaks Are Ready - Nina Prommer
When you get into a kayak for the first time it feels a bit strange, but within seconds you realize this will be great fun and off you go.
A kayak is a small, narrow boat primarily designed to be manually propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle. The traditional kayak has a covered deck and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler. The cockpit is sometimes covered by a spray deck that prevents the entry of water from waves or spray and makes it possible for suitably skilled kayakers to roll the kayak: that is, to capsize and right it without it filling with water or ejecting the paddler.
The kayak was first used by the indigenous Aleut, Inuit, Yupik and possibly Ainu hunters in the subarctic regions of the world.
