I love kayaking. A lot of people enjoy canoeing, but kayaking has a different sitting position and a two bladed paddle. 
It seems really difficult. Do you know much about the history of kayaking?
It's rather fascinating! They were created by the Inuit, thousands of years ago.
Wow that's so cool, who exactly are the Inuit?
A lot of people know them as Eskimos. Kayaks were created mainly for hunting and fishing. The word kayak means "Hunter's boat".
It seems like a very useful piece of technology for sure then. Do you know if there's competitive kayaking?
Yes! By the mid-1800s its popularity had spread to Europe, and German and French men took it up for sport.
Wow that's so cool, do they race or something? How exactly is it made competitive?
Yes, there is everything from whitewater racing to freestyle competitions. It's quite exciting.
Oh I forgot about whitewater racing, that's really intense I've heard.
