KAYAK. Light boat powered by paddles. Originally used by native Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters in sub-Arctic regions including Greenland, Asia and North America.
A kayak is a small human-powered boat. It typically has a covered deck, and a cockpit covered by a spraydeck. It is propelled by a double-bladed paddle by a sitting paddler. The kayak was used by the native Ainu, Aleut and Eskimo hunters in sub-Arctic regions of northeastern Asia, North America and Greenland. Modern kayaks come in a wide variety of designs and materials for specialized purposes.
