Kajak
Sign in to saveTypenbezeichnung, Unterklasse von Kanus
A kayak is a small, narrow boat with a pointed design at both ends that a person sits in while paddling, traditionally used by Inuit seal hunters and now employed for recreational paddling and wildlife observation. Kayaks matter because they enable people to navigate waterways and approach marine environments in ways that larger boats cannot, making them valuable for both historical hunting practices and modern activities like exploring glaciers and observing wildlife.

Ein Kajak (grönländisch Qajaq, Plural Qajat) ist ein Paddelboot mit Ursprung in der Arktis und bezeichnet einen Bootstyp, der mittels Doppelpaddel angetrieben wird und dessen Insassen in Fahrtrichtung sitzen. Von der Sitzposition aus werden die Oberschenkel seitlich im Rumpf verspreizt. Kajaks und Kanadier (kniend mit Stechpaddel) bilden die beiden wesentlichen Untergruppen von Kanus.
