Kayaking originated 2000 years ago among the Inuit people who used kayaks made of bones and seal skin to travel over water. A kayak is a small human-powered boat where the paddler sits facing forward and uses a double-bladed paddle to propel it over water. Kayaking has since evolved into a recreational activity and sport where people use modern materials like fiberglass and plastic to kayak on various bodies of water for enjoyment and exercise.
The origins of the rubber band ball can be traced back to ancient Incan cultures who would wrap thin elastic vines around pebbles to create balls for games. Today, the world's largest rubber band ball was created by Steven Milton and weighs over 4,600 pounds, using over 175,000 rubber bands. Milton's ball broke the previous record set in 1999 by John Bain whose rubber band ball weighed 3,120 pounds.
This document provides an overview of popular sports in Japan. It discusses baseball, soccer, sumo wrestling, martial arts including judo and karate, golf, winter sports, horse racing, Formula One motor racing.

There are several different types of water sports described in the document. Some of the main ones include swimming, which can be individual or team based and is an Olympic sport, spear fishing which has been practiced for millennia as a method for fishing, and water polo which is a team sport played in deep water where teams try to score goals by throwing the ball into their opponent's goal. Other water sports mentioned include jet skiing, surfing, yacht racing, and underwater football.

One team aims to score goals by shooting a puck past the opposing team's goalie, who defends the net "between the pipes." The document also provides brief biographical information on American ice hockey player Patrick Kane and references an encyclopedia page about the history and rules of ice hockey.
Baseball has a long history starting in 1744 when kids would listen to games on the radio. The sport truly took off in America in 2006 with the start of the Little League World Series, which features the best youth teams from around the world. While the game was invented long ago, little league was established later to help develop young players and introduce them to America's favorite pastime of baseball.
The document summarizes sports and sporting events during the 1920s, which was dubbed "The Golden Age of Sports". Key developments included the invention of water skiing in 1922, Babe Ruth breaking the home run record in 1927, the formation of school sports teams, the first American to win Wimbledon in 1920, the introduction of the Olympics Winter Games in 1924, the creation of the NFL in 1920, and Caroline Ederle becoming the first woman to swim the English Channel. The 1920s saw many sports gain popularity as they became more widely accessible to the middle class.

Dr. James Naismith invented the game of basketball in 1891 while looking for an indoor game to keep his students occupied on a rainy day in gym class. He was born in 1861 in Ontario, Canada, had two wives and five children, and worked as a physical education professor. Naismith wrote the original 13 rules of basketball and the game has since become one of the most popular sports worldwide before he died in 1939 in Lawrence, Kansas at the age of 78 from a brain hemorrhage.
Mexico is known for extreme sports like skateboarding and surfing which can be dangerous and result in injuries, as well as its festivals, traditional food, and the influential Aztec civilization.

It also explains different snowboarding disciplines like freestyle, which focuses on tricks using jumps and rails, and alpine snowboarding which emphasizes carved turns on groomed slopes. Additional styles covered include freeriding, jibbing, slopestyle, big air, halfpipe, and boardercross.
Water skiing was invented in 1922 by Ralph Samuelson on Lake Pepin in Minnesota. He was towed by his brother using snow skis on water, inspiring the new sport of water skiing which is now enjoyed by 11 million people in America. Slalom skiing uses only one ski and requires speeds over 30 mph from the towing boat due to the difficulty of balancing on one ski with feet facing forward. The current world record holder is Freddy Krueger.
James Naismith is known as the inventor of basketball. As a teacher in 1891, he was tasked with creating a new indoor winter game and invented basketball by using two peach baskets and a soccer ball. He went on to refine the game by introducing the metal rim in 1893 and backboard in 1895. Naismith is honored through the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame and Naismith Awards given to top college players each year.

Snowboarding traces its origins to the early 1960s when individuals developed early snowboard precursors to fulfill their own desires for gliding over snow, rather than major sports manufacturers. Tom Sims made the first "ski board" in 1963 and went on to found Sims Snowboards. By the 1970s, several others were developing snowboards to replicate skateboarding or surfing rather than skiing. In the 1980s, snowboarding began being allowed at ski resorts and manufacturers like K2 and Rossignol entered the growing market. By the 1990s there were over 300 snowboard companies and its debut as an Olympic sport in 1998 cemented snowboarding as mainstream.
This document discusses stakeholder participation in sustainable supply chain management (SSCM) and provides examples of tools and cases. It begins by defining SSCM and outlining issues tourism operators need to manage, such as socio-cultural and economic impacts. Stakeholder participation is important as it raises awareness, reduces conflict, aids communication, and provides technical support. Two tools for participation discussed are the European Awareness Scenario Workshop (EASW) model and Open Space Technology (OST). The document then summarizes a 1997 workshop in Rhodes, Greece and a 2004 workshop in Nepal that used OST to develop sustainable tourism policies and objectives through stakeholder involvement.
