  • What I found interesting is how deep the real Inuit kayaks are, halfway up the chest in some cases. Not like the modern ones which are super low profile. What I found amazing is that they made their kayaks out of wood washed up on the shore and bound together with sinew. There are no trees in the arctic region.

  • Beautiful tribute to a largely forgotten watercraft. Ever hear of George Dyson? He helped resurrect some Inuit designs. Eventually, he produced a kit using modern materials with modified ancient designs. It is some boat. Another pal Jim Noyes, led the first crossing of the Bering Strait in modern times, but using skin-clad baidarkas along with some Umiaks. He reunited families from Diomedes Islands that were split when the Iron Curtain fell. A film of the expedition is called, "Curtain of Ice."

  • estos si que son verdaderos kayakquistas, los abuelos de nuestro hobby, chapo por la recopilacion de fotos tan interesantes,
