A kayak is a small, narrow boat which is propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle. The word kayak originates from the Greenlandic language, where it is the word qajaq (pronounced [qajaq]). In the UK the term canoe is often used when referring to a kayak. The traditional kayak has a covered deck and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler. The cockpit is sometimes covered by a spray deck that prevents the entry of water from waves or spray and makes it possible for suitably skilled kayakers to roll the kayak: that is, to capsize and right it without it filling with water or ejecting the paddler.
Some modern boats vary considerably from a traditional design but still claim the title "kayak", for instance in eliminating the cockpit by seating the paddler on top of the boat ("sit-on-top" kayaks); having inflated air chambers surrounding the boat; replacing the single hull by twin hulls ("W" kayak), and replacing paddles with other human-powered propulsion methods, such as foot-powered rotational propellers and "flippers". Kayaks are also being sailed, as well as propelled by means of small electric motors, and even by outboard gas engines, when possible.
Are you looking for a kayak but overwhelmed by all the different choices? Well you've come to the right place! In our continuing "101" series, ACK's Roland Jimenez walks you through the basics of choosing the right kayak based on your specific paddling needs.

Doesn't it make the world a happy dream
Perfectly, gently
Everything works out the way you want it to
You can't believe it's true
Happening to you
Isn't it silly all those jealous eyes
Looking like vultures
Ready, willing, but unable to come close
To the one who steals the show
Everybody knows
Now they smile but in a while
They've never seen your face
Or say they could have told you from the start
It had to go wrong one day
It had to go hard
Wouldn't it make your wildest dreams come true
Showing those windbags
Money ain't the spring of all your actions done
You stagger everyone - all for private fun
Now they smile ...
You're so bizarre, you're like an island
Everyone can see happy and free
You're so bizarre, you really are
You're so bizarre you're like an island
Everyone can see
Happy and free
You're so bizarre
That's what you are.
See the waves full of emotion
Who would dare to cross your ocean
At the risk of being shipwrecked or captured or
