The kayak finds its roots in the Arctic regions, 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 waterproofing. The term “kayak” means “hunter’s boat” in the Inuit language.
Unlike canoeing, kayaking is a closed boat, where the paddler sits and uses a double paddle. This design makes it ideal for navigating rough waters and protecting against the cold. In the 19th century, European explorers discovered this invention and adapted it for their leisure and competition uses, popularizing kayaking worldwide.
Today, kayaking is a varied and accessible discipline, practiced in calm waters, whitewater rivers or even at sea. It embodies both a means of transportation, a competitive sport, and a unique way to explore nature. Kayaking symbolizes adventure, mastery of the elements and an intimate connection with the water.
