The kayak has its roots in the Arctic, where it was invented over 4 years ago by the Inuit and indigenous peoples of Alaska, Canada, and Greenland. Designed for hunting and fishing in extreme conditions, this marine craft was made from driftwood or whalebone, covered with sealskin to ensure its waterproofness. The term "kayak" means "hunter's boat" in the Inuit language. Unlike the canoe, the kayak is an enclosed boat, where the paddler sits and uses a double-bladed paddle. This design makes it ideal for navigating rough waters and protecting against the cold. In the 000th century, European explorers discovered this invention and adapted it for their leisure and competition uses, popularizing kayaking around the world. Today, kayaking is a varied and accessible discipline, practiced in calm waters, in whitewater rivers or even at sea. It embodies both a means of transport, a competitive sport, and a unique way of exploring nature. Kayaking symbolizes adventure, mastery of the elements and an intimate connection with water.
