response: That's interesting, they became more popular with Europeans in the mid-1800s.
original_response: I would imagine they've become more advanced since then of course. Especially since they became so popular amongst Europeans by the mid-1800s.
history: My dad wants to go kayaking but I dont now anything about it. Well, kayaks are canoe-like and sit low in the water. You sit in them with your legs out front and use a double-ended paddle to move. Does that help? Yeah I have heard that it is kinda dangerous. I don't know about the danger, but did you know that kayaks were invented by the Inuit millennia ago? I did not know it was that old! Do you know anything else interesting about it? Well speaking of the old kayaks, they were actually made of driftwood and sometimes whale skeleton was used to construct the frame! I thin my dads is carbonfiber I guess now they make them out of that.
knowledge: By the mid-1800s the kayak became increasingly popular and the Europeans became interested.
