CANOEING AND KAYAKING Canoes and kayaks may be confusing to some but it is really easy to distinguish one from the other. Kayaking and canoeing both require a paddle for propulsion and steering. KAYAKING CANOEING
CANOEING The word CANOE originated from the Carib word “KENU” which meant dugout. Originally made from large tree trunks. The trunks were dried for months, and then the middle part was burned. After which, the burned part was scraped away with shells. The whole process took “one moon” or 28 days. The oldest known canoe, Pesse Canoe , believed to be constructed between 8200 and 7600 B.C. was found in the Netherlands.
KAYAKING Kayaks or “qajak,” meaning “man’s boat” or “hunter’s boat” originated from the Inuit or Aleut tribes of Arctic North America. Interestingly, the early kayaks were very individualized as each kayak was crafted by the user, basing the measurement to the frame of his body and not on any standard. The man builds the frame from wood or from whalebone skeleton and it was the wife’s job to stitch the seal skin used to cover the fram. Whale fats were used to waterproof the boat. To improve buoyancy, the natives placed air filled bladders of the seal in the vessels. The oldest existing kayaks are exhibited in North America Department of the State Museum of Ethnology in Munich.

What activities can be done when one uses the kayaks or canoes? Usually, the boats are designed to fit the demands of the intended environment and activity. The activity may be done in solo, dual, or as a group. Depending on what one would want to experience, here are some of the paddling activities that one may choose from: Sea kayaking is done in open waters such as ocean or the lake. Kayaks may be sit-on-top or decked design. Whitewater kayaking or canoeing is paddling down the whitewater rivers. Flatwater recreation is relaxing canoeing or kayaking where you can take a gentle paddle down a calm river, ocean, or lake to do some sightseeing. Sailing is where the canoe or kayak is fitted with a sail. Surf kayaking is where the kayak is typically fitted with a fin, rather like a surfboard. Marathon racing is a lengthy race down a river using the kayak or canoe.

SCUBA DIVING Scuba is an acronym for Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus or SCUBA. Scuba diving is a diving method where a diver uses a regulator as the breathing apparatus and a tank with compressed air which enables the diver to breathe normally underwater. With these equipment, a diver can explore the waters for a longer period of time and at greater depths.
