Looking to getting into kayaking, and maybe buying one. Any idea about those?
I know its different from canoeing because of the seating and the number of blades on the paddle
Yeah, I thought so! I didn't really want to canoe, so that's good to know that it's different. Is there anything else about it that might draw me in?
The Inuit created Kayaks thousands of years ago in Northern Arctic areas
That's kind of neat that it has such a rich culture to it then. Kind of motivates me to want to get one even more. I'm kind of on the edge of buying one now... Anything else you can tell me to wow me?
The Inuit used whale skeletons and driftwood to frame kayaks then covered them with seal skin
That is so gnarly! I wish I could get one like that, but I know that's not practical these days. What are they made of these days?
Fiberglass. The kayak was originally made for hunting and fishing and the term translates to hunting boat
Ah, fiberglass. That makes sense. Well, I think I'm almost sold on getting one, since it has such a neat history. Any recommendations on how/where I should kayak?
Anywhere really the kayak has stealth capabilities that allow hunters to sneak up on the prey
