This sport consist of moving a kayak across water, a person sits in a kayak with their legs in front of them and have a double ended paddle. There are two types of kayaking white water kayaking, which consists of the kayaker going through rapids, or sea water kayaking, where they travel across any open water. Sea kayaking can either be to look around done particular open area, which lasts for a few hours of it can take go n for days, unlike white water kayaking which tends to only take a few hours. Due to the differences in these two uses of a kayak they tend to come in different styles, for example a narrower kayak is used for white water rafting as they need to be able to both travel through large waves and narrow area's, but the kayak also needs to be able to remain in control of its kayak.
There are two particular forms of kayak; one is the sit on tops' which is where the kayaker sits with their legs out in front of them under the kayak hull. The other is called a spray deck' which is where they have a wetsuit type of material up to their waist in which they sit in.
Kayaking tends to be the most popular with fishermen as it is easy to travel in and also those who are adventurous, especially when it comes to white water kayaking as they need the confidence and also the dare devil in them to tackle the rapids on their own!
