A KAYAK is a type of canoelike boat that is typically propelled by a double-bladed paddle. It is usually a small, narrow vessel that is designed to be operated by one or two people. Kayaks are often used for recreational and sporting activities such as fishing, touring, and whitewater rafting. They are also used in some areas for transportation, hunting, and even military operations. Kayaks are typically made from lightweight materials such as fiberglass, plastic, or wood, and they are often covered with a waterproof material.
