What is a kayak?
The kayak is a type of canoe with a capacity of between 1 and 3 people. A canoe, which has more and more presence in the rivers and seas of Euskadi. Although its main use is sporting, many people also use them for fishing due to its comfort and ease of use. And the fact is that these canoes, in addition to having great stability, allow the user to always be facing forward and seated. A fact that does not occur in all types of canoes.
