	Kayak - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		They are often the lightest kayaks, and traditionally made of drift wood pegged and or lashed together and Seal skin stretched over it, as those were the easiest materials to source in the arctic regions.
		Recreational kayaks are designed for the casual paddler interested in fishing, photography, or a peaceful paddle on a lake or flatwater stream; they presently make up the largest segment of kayak sales.
		Compared to other kayaks recreational kayaks have a larger cockpit for easier entry and exit and a wider beam (27–30 inches) for more stability on the water; they are generally less than twelve feet in length and have limited cargo capacity.

		"Recreational Kayaks" is an often derogatory term reserved for certain kayaks unsafe for use outside of flat water, warm water conditions.
		Recreational kayaks usually have no protection for whitewater, such as a vertical bulkhead in the bow to keep the kayak from bending around a boulder and trapping the kayaker's legs in the kayak.
		These kayaks can be a lot of fun for inexperienced paddlers, over the short term, but are not appropriate vessels for going very far from shore or playing in either surf or whitewater.
