A kayak is a compact, somewhat narrow, human-powered boat primarily intended to be manually propelled by way of a double blade paddle. The normal kayak features a lined deck and a number of cockpits, each and every seating 1 paddler. Their cockpit is sometimes covered by a skirt that stops the entry of drinking water from waves or spray and causes it to be attainable for hugely competent and specially educated kayakers, to roll the kayak: that's, to capsize and ideal it without having it filling with drinking water or ejecting the paddler. In modern kayaks, these types of recovery methods have already been replaced by a preventive strategy based on increasing the kayak's balance, and by that minimizing the likelihood of capsizing.

A lot of modern kayaks have modified the normal style and design in many methods, these types of as: reducing the cockpit by seating the paddler on major with the boat possessing inflated air chambers encompassing the boat; changing the single hull by twin hulls, and replacing paddles with other human powered propulsion methods, these as foot-powered rotational propellers and flippers. Kayaks also are currently being sailed, along with propelled through smaller electric motors, and perhaps by outboard gas engines, when achievable.

Kayaks are frequently made use of to obtain closer to marine animals, as an example sea otters. In certain areas of the world, like the United kingdom, kayaks may be regarded as a subtype of canoes. Most common kayakers these days utilize a skirt created of waterproof artificial materials stretchy sufficient to fit tightly round the cockpit rim and entire body of the kayaker, and which may be released rapidly through the cockpit to permit straightforward exit.

 Early kayak builders had certain measurements for his or her boats. The duration was commonly three times the span of his outstretched arms. The width on the cockpit was the width on the builder's hips as well as two fists and in some cases considerably less. This measurement method confounded early European explorers who attempted to replicate the kayak, because each kayak was just a little unique.
 
Main stability describes just how much a ship recommendations, or rocks backwards and forwards when displaced from amount by water movements or paddler bodyweight shifts. Becoming dependant on the paddler's movement, it can be generally a subjective thought. Secondary stability describes how conveniently a boat capsizes. Principal stability is often a major worry to some starter, even though secondary balance issues equally to newbies and professional vacationers, because it is a bodily attribute of their boat. The two essential balance and secondary balance improve for the reason that boat's quantity is distributed away from its middle line. As an example, catamarans give both substantial main balance and secondary stability, into a position the place they are often erroneously viewed as currently being unsinkable.

Traditional model and many fashionable kinds of kayaks need that paddler be seated with their legs stretched in front of them, inside a correct angle. Most fashionable kayaks aspect a method comprising footrests and a backrest, meant to deliver the paddler with usually means to assist their paddling hard work by letting them to press the footrests with their feet, and also the backrest with their lessen back again (lumbar backbone). This sort of preparations weren't included in kayaks built by native peoples with the arctic areas, who were match adequate to paddle their kayaks devoid of needing these kinds of units. These gadgets are not essential in new twin hull kayaks in the "W" kind offering a different sitting position known as the "Riding" place, during which the paddler's legs are certainly not stretched on front of them.
