A Great Transformation of Kayaks

Did you know kayaks were initially discovered by the Eskimos about 4000 years ago in order to go for hunting on inland lakes, rivers and coastal waters? Yes at that time the Eskimos made these kayaks with animal skins like seal by stitching them over a wood or whale's bone skeleton frame. Another fact that might sweep you out of your feet is that kayaks were adapted by the military persons during Second World War!!!

And then at that time the Eskimos might not be aware of a better utility of the kayak. Man has advanced a lot in these few decades and has known the better use of almost everything by the virtue of technology. Today kayaks are used for recreational activities. These have become a medium of fun and pleasure nowadays and are in a high demands too.

Kayaking has attracted people a lot towards it in these few years and has gained tremendous attention towards it because of its fun filled experience. There are many kayaks for sale available in the market today with different sizes, shapes and colors but there is a definite rule for the construction of the kayaks which if not taken care of then it can be a dangerous experience too. Take for an example if the waterline length of the boat is not made according to the Archimedes's principle then the kayak might become unbalanced, then the weight of kayak should be kept light and the beam width must be maintained properly else it will hamper your fun-filled experience.

There are various kinds of kayaks in terms of number of persons along for the ride like there is a single sitter kayak where only one person at a time can do kayaking and generally is a faster one, next is a tandem kayak in which there are two sits for two people and is great experience for friends and couples and last but not the least the kayak for family in which there are four sits for four paddlers and it is a fun-filled and safe kayak.

While going for buying a kayak just keep in your mind the three main factors i.e. waterline length, beam width and weight of the kayak to have a better and safe kayaking experience.
