Kayaking has been practiced for over 5,000 years by indigenous groups in Arctic regions who constructed early kayaks from materials available to them. While some tribes used large skin boats called umiaks measuring over 60 feet, modern kayaks were introduced in Europe in the mid-1800s and were adopted for recreation. Kayaking provides cardiovascular and muscular benefits and involves using a double-bladed paddle to propel the kayak while seated and observing safety precautions.

Much like the kayaks you are familiar with today, ancient designs were made in
varying lengths. For example, large open skin boats, called umiaks, measured 60 feet
or more. These long vessels could carry entire families along with their sessions.
THE FIRST KAYAK USED
- In the mid-1800s, kayaks were introduced in Europe as a soft-sided vessel for
skimming across the cold waters. The Germans and French were the first to use the
boats for recreation, while tribes in the North and South Poles still used the boats for
exploring.
