Kayaking to the Extreme
A kayak is a small boat with a cockpit where the kayaker sits. The cockpit has a piece of waterproof material (called a spray skirt or a spraydeck) that is designed to be secured around the kayaker’s waist and keep water out of the cockpit. This makes the kayak almost unsinkable unless it runs into something, like a big rock, and develops a hole. While a kayak may be virtually unsinkable, it is easily capsized (turned upside down) which, considering that the kayaker is more or less tied into the cockpit, makes it the kayaker’s least favorite position. As you would expect, the first thing a kayaker learns is how to recover from that upside down position. The kayak is moved through the water with a single paddle that has two blades, rather than the single blade you normally associate with a paddle.
