On our kayak website we provide you with all sorts of information about kayaks and kayaking.
The word kayak derives from the Inuit word qajaq. The first kayaks were made of a wooden frame covered by stitched seal skins. Originally the kayak was used for hunting sea mammals like seals, walruses and whales.
It's not surprising that more and more people start kayaking. Whether you're paddling for sport, as a hobby or just to have a great time you can easily adjust your efforts to your own fitness level.
