Eskimo or Esquimau is a term used for a group of people who inhabit the circumpolar region (excluding circumpolar Scandinavia and all but the easternmost portions of Russia).
There are two main groups of Eskimos: the Inuit of northern Alaska, Canada and Greenland and the Yupik of western Alaska and the Russian Far East (the latter group is known as Siberian Yupik or Yuit).
The Eskimos are related to the Aleuts and the Alutiiq from the Aleutian Islands in Alaska as well as the Sug'piak from the Kodiak Islands and as far as the Prince William Sound in South Central Alaska.

This stops water splashing over the boat from entering it, and makes it possible that, should the kayak (capsize), the kayak will not fill with water, and the paddler, with skill, can right the kayak again without taking on water.
This meant that what is now known as a 'wet exit' (getting out of a kayak that has overturned, righting it, and getting back in) was impossible, leading to the importance of the eskimo roll maneuvre, where the kayak is righted without leaving the cockpit.
For the Inuit, without modern floatation devices or cold water protection, being thrown into the freezing waters of the Arctic Ocean was almost certain death in any event.

To make it worse, you know that when you are paddling into waves that rolling under a set isn't an option - after you've flipped under the first one it's off you go again..."
and tying the belt up and then - er, the critical part - un-tying it when you are underwater (ideally this is a good point to learn eskimo rolling - the art of righting yourself without un-buckling - but you'll still get going without it).
Paddle out, turn around, wait your turn and paddle in with the wave until your moving without assistance.
