	Folding Kayaks by FirstLight
		Folding kayaks, with their skin over frame design, have all the performance benefits of traditional kayaks used by hunters for thousands of years.
		The first folding kayaks were manufactured early last century to meet the need for a boat that could easily be transported and that could easily be stored in a minimum of space.
		The ability to tune the kayak by altering the position of the small cross ribs and varying the degree of rocker in the boat according to paddler weight and paddling conditions.

	Folding kayak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A folding kayak is a direct descendant of the original Inuit kayak made of animal skins stretched over frames made from wood and bones.
		The earliest commercial folding kayaks were developed in the late 19th century in Rosenheim, Germany by Johannes Klepper, and were very popular for their compact size and ease of transport.
		Although some hardshell kayakers are critical of folding boats and do not regard them as true kayaks, they exhibit many of the same paddling characteristics as the original skin-and-frame vessels of the circumpolar north.

	Kayak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Kayaks differ distinctly in design and history from canoes, which are more flat-bottomed boats propelled by single-bladed paddles, although some modern canoes may be difficult for a non-expert to distinguish from a kayak.
		Kayaks were originally developed by the Aleuts and Inuit, the indigenous peoples living in the Arctic regions of North America and Greenland, who used the boats to hunt on inland lakes, rivers and the coastal and open waters of the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic and North Pacific oceans.
		Although kayak hulls are not so extremely curved as a hoop, it is analogous to what happens when a kayak with rocker is sitting in the water: although the overall length of the boat may be 18 feet, the length at waterline may only be 16 feet.
