Kayakers are individuals who participate in the sport of kayaking, which involves paddling a small, narrow watercraft called a kayak. Kayaks can be used on various bodies of water, including rivers, lakes, and oceans. They are typically designed for one or two people and can be made from materials like plastic, fiberglass, or inflatable materials. Kayaking can be both a recreational activity and a competitive sport. Many kayakers enjoy exploring nature, while others may participate in races or whitewater kayaking, which involves navigating through fast-moving water. Safety gear, such as life jackets and helmets, is often used to ensure a safe experience on the water.
