What
is a Sea Kayak?
The sea kayak is the direct descendant from the traditional designs styles of the original kayaks. Modern sea kayaks are constructed from a wide variety of materials and in a range of style. Sea kayaks as a class are distinct from whitewater kayaks and other boats by typically having a longer waterline (emphasizing straight travel through the water over extreme maneuverability), and provisions for below-deck storage of cargo. Many designs of sea kayak incorporate integral bulkheads for additional floatation or storage. |

Modern sea kayaks can trace their origin directly back to the native boats of the people living in Alaska, northern Canada, and Southwest Greenland. Hunters developed a very fast sea going craft for hunting seals and walrus. The earliest known examples were built from a lightweight wooden frame bound with sinew or or something similar. this was then covered with seal hides. Archaeological evidence suggests that kayaks date back to 500 BC.
