I've really never been kayaking but it looks like so much fun, even moreso than canoeing even though they're similar but distinguished.
I definitely love kayaking.  It is fun to do.  I am not sure why the crafts are so different
Kayaking was actually created less for recreation and more for hunting and fishing.
That is interesting.  Do we know who invented it
Yup, kayaks were invented by the Inuits or Eskimos in the northern Arctic.
That is quite interesting.  I would imagine kayaking up there would be quite cold
It probably was, it was probably hard to find materials so they used driftwood and sometimes whale skeletons.
I had no idea they used whale skeletons.  That is interesting!
Agreed, they also used animal skins to create the body of the kayak.
