kayak
Narrow paddled vessel
A kayak is a small, narrow boat propelled by a double-bladed paddle.
The paddler sits low in a cockpit, legs extended forward.
Originally an Inuit hunting vessel made of sealskin stretched over a wooden frame, modern kayaks are typically plastic or fiberglass and used for recreation: We rented kayaks and explored the coastline.
To kayak is to travel by kayak.
