KAYAKING Meaning and
Definition
-
Kayaking is a recreational water activity that involves propelling oneself through water using a kayak. A kayak is a narrow, small boat that is typically propelled by a double-bladed paddle. It is designed to be manually operated and can be used in various types of waters, including rivers, lakes, and oceans.
As a popular outdoor sport, kayaking offers a diverse range of experiences, from peaceful leisurely paddles to thrilling whitewater adventures. The paddler sits facing forward, legs extended in the front, and uses the paddle to push and pull through the water alternately on both sides of the kayak. This provides stability, steering, and forward propulsion.
Kayaking can be enjoyed individually or in groups, and it often involves exploring natural environments and encountering wildlife. It allows individuals to immerse themselves in nature, offering a unique perspective on the surroundings. It also offers opportunities for physical fitness, as kayaking engages several muscle groups, including the arms, shoulders, and core.
Kayaking has different disciplines and styles, such as sea kayaking, whitewater kayaking, recreational kayaking, and kayak touring. Each style has its own set of techniques, equipment, and safety measures. It is essential for kayakers to have proper training, knowledge of water conditions, and appropriate safety gear to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience on the water.

Etymology of KAYAKING
The word "kayaking" is derived from the Inuit (Eskimo) word "qajaq" which refers to a type of small hunting boat or canoe. These boats were traditionally made of animal skins stretched over a wooden frame and were used by the indigenous peoples of the Arctic regions, particularly in Greenland, Alaska, and Canada, for hunting and transportation purposes. Over time, the term "kayak" became adopted in English to refer to this type of small boat, and "kayaking" came to denote the activity of paddling or traveling in a kayak. The term has since been internationalized and is now used globally to describe the sport and recreational activity of navigating rivers, lakes, and oceans in a kayak.
