A. Kayak is a mostly a closed craft with curved edges, and was invented by the Eskimos who used Kayaks to steer through ice. These days you get either fiberglass/plastic based Kayaks or inflatable Kayaks made of PVC. River and White Water Kayaking are very popular in India and Nepal, while internationally Sea Kayaking is extremely popular. Canoe has its origin in the Amazon, and is an open craft with pointed edges to steer through still waters. In India, a Shikara as used in the lakes of Kashmir and also at Nainital, is a version of Canoe.
