Lately I've been taking with kayaking. I've also been watching Alaska-focused shows, and just discovered that kayaks were created by the Inuit!

became a mainstream popular sport. Now, more than 10 white water kayaking events are featured in the Olympics. While kayaking represents a key international watersport, few academic studies have (to date) been conducted on the role kayaking plays in the lives and activities of the public
