It’s the Eskimos’ preferred means of water travel and we can understand why, as these vessels are great fun. Unlike canoeing, kayakers use a double-bladed paddle and sit in their vessel rather than on top of it or on their knees. Whatever kind of kayaking you opt for, whether on the sea, a river or a man-made course, once you’ve mastered the basics, you’ll be able to cruise along the water and take in the beautiful scenery or take part in fun challenges.
