ADVENTUROUS RIDE WITH INFLATABLE KAYAKS

An inflatable kayak is a compact and slender boat that is usually moved by a double-bladed paddle. The original kayak has a surrounded deck and single or multiple compartments, each seating, and one paddler. The quarter is sometimes protected by a spray deck that restrains the entry of water from spray or waves. The latest kayaks are also being sailed and projected by electric motors and outboard gas engines. The first kayaks were manufactured from tacked seal or other animal skins reclined over a wood or whalebone skeleton frame. They were used for poaching on inland lakes, rivers, and coastal waters of Arctic, North Pacific, and North Atlantic Oceans. The kayaks are considered to be 4000 years older. These oldest kayaks are displayed in the State Museum of Ethnology in Munich in North America.

MATERIALS USED TO MAKE KAYAKS: 

The three primary materials used to make inflatable kayaks are:

1. PVC: Most of the inflatable kayaks are made of the PVC material. PVC stands for Polyvinyl Chloride. It is a durable plastic that can be made flexible and supple by adding plasticizers. The toughness of the kayak depends on the thickness of the PVC layers used. There are so many benefits of using PVC kayaks like they are economical, durable, easy to patch, welded, and glued. It is also used as a covering for other materials to make them stronger and tear-resistant.
2. PENNEL ORCA MATERIAL: Pennel Orca material is a synthetic rubber that is extremely robust and long-lasting. It is used as an exterior plating on the kayak. These are excellent for heavy whitewater and rugged use. The qualities of this Pennel orca material includes, they are resistant to corrosion, UV rays, chemicals, and extreme temperatures.
3. NITRYLON: Nitrylon is a covering of synthetic nitrite rubber. It is the most environmentally friendly material used for the kayaks. It is sturdy, easy to patch, puncture, and abrasion-resistant. It also manages extreme cold temperatures better.

FUN ACTIVITIES WITH THE INFLATABLE KAYAK: 

1. Inflatable kayaks are famous for fishing and have many benefits like it is easy to clean them after use and dry off. It is easy to shift and store these boats. These kayaks are portable, so you can take it to pristine locations that are not approachable by larger vessels.

COSTUMES TO WEAR IN THESE BOATS: 

1. Any type of easy clothing is suitable for the hot temperature like shorts and shirts. You can take a hat and a big sunscreen in the summer weather. UV protective clothing is also preferred in the warm climate to prevent sunburn. 
2. Layered clothing is suggested in cold weather. You should avoid wearing cotton in winters as it absorbs the moisture and makes you frozen. Wool and fleece material is preferable in winters. Jackets and pants are a must in the cold weather. 
3. Though all types of footwear work for the kayakers, flip flops look comfortable and relaxed in summers. Unique paddle wet shoes are made for the winters. 
4. A ball cap or a sun hat with a broader brim should be worn in summers for protection of your face, neck, and eyes. A wool toque provides more exceptional warmth in the winters. 
5. Paddling gloves are suggested for every season.

MAINTENANCE: 

1. After you are done with the fun ride in the inflatable canoe kayak, do not forget to dry your boats so it will last for a longer time. Always keep a cloth with you in the ship for drying. 
2. Don’t drag your kayak in the rocks and gravel because any sharp object can rupture or puncture the boat. 
3. Take special care in extreme temperatures. The intense heat can expand the air pressure, and the extreme cold can drop the air pressure. Always check the pressure before traveling.
4. Store your kayaks in garages, lockers, or closets in your home and keep it undercover.
5. Use a protectant spray on your inflatable kayaks for protection against UV rays.
