sier følgende: Kajakk Guiden har kjøpt rettighetene til å publisere boken «KAJAKK» av Øystein Køhn og Harald Rishovd. Boken har fått strålende kritikker og tar for seg alt du trenger å vite om kajakker og padling. Vi legger boka ut her på våre sider, kapittel for kapittel slik at alle kan få tilgang til denne nyttige informasjonen gratis. All copyright m.v. for øvrig tilhører forfatterne. Kapittel 1) Padleglede i historisk sammenheng idyllisk på kajakktur De siste årene har kajakkpadling hatt en nærmest eksplosjonsartet uvikling. Stadig flere mosjonister, friluftsentusiaster og aktive idrettsutøvere oppdager kajakkpadling som en morsom, effektiv og frisk aktivitet. Det selges mange nye kajakker hver sommer og antallet padlere øker raskt fra år til år. Utvalget og tilbudet er større enn noen gang, og mange av dagens kajakker er svært gode. Nå er det imidlertid ikke alltid kvaliteten på farkosten som er det viktigste for mange tur- og mosjonspadlere. Det er snarere gleden over å være ute, opplevelsen og å være i og nær naturen – alene eller sammen med gode venner. På den annen side vil en god kajakk, en veltrent kropp og bruk av riktig padleteknikk øke opplevelsen og gi deg større utbytte av turene. Kajakken er nemlig en farkost som passer alle, enten du er sær individualist eller av mer sosial karakter som trives best i selskap med andre padlere. Med en riktig tilpasset kajakk har du alle muligheter til å oppleve en helt ny verden, enten du ferdes på en av våre mange innsjøer eller vassdrag, i dype fjordarmer, i skjærgården eller langt til havs. Den som først har fått øynene opp for hva man kan oppleve fra sjøsiden, forblir en hengiven padler resten av livet. Opplevelser og utfordringer står i kø, bare du vet å benytte deg av dem. Nær naturen i kajakk I en kajakk sitter du lavt og beveger deg tilnærmet lydløst. Du kan komme nær inn på naturens innbyggere uten selv å bli oppdaget. Samtidig kan du utforske områder som ikke er tilgjengelige for andre båter. Du kan planlegge turen, slå leir i fantastiske omgivelser og oppleve det mange bare drømmer om og kanskje ser på film eller fjernsyn. Som kajakkpadler kan du selv bestemme rutevalg og distanse. Og hva er vel bedre enn å oppleve soloppgangen fra kajakken, mens dovne dønninger vasker mot skjærene og naturen våkner til liv. Du finner deg en skjermet vik og tar morgenbadet – før du atter kryper om bord og legger ut på dagens første økt. Den moderne kajakken gir deg alle muligheter, nesten uansett værforhold. Entusiaster padler hele året – og har stor glede av sitt friluftsliv. Kajakkpadling kan nemlig lett kombineres med andre uteaktiviteter som bading, jakt og fiske, fotturer, naturfotografering, marinbiologi, interesse for fortidsminner, geologi og mye, mye annet. Mange mener at vinteren byr på de flotteste padleturene. Den som først har opplevd en stille vintertur med lav sol over snøkledde holmer, er solgt! Effektivt befordringsmiddel Kajakken er et meget effektivt befordringsmiddel. Sittende nær vannflaten, med lavt tyngdepunkt, kan du frakte deg selv og eventuell bagasje over lange avstander med relativt lavt energiforbruk. På langtur kan du greit tilbakelegge mellom 20 og 60 kilometer pr. dag i ukevis. Padling er samtidig flott trim og trening, og det er små sjanser for belastningsskader. Gjennom jevnlig padling kan du slanke bort overflødige kilo og komme i form på en morsom måte. Om sommeren kan du bade og lære deg avanserte teknikker, redning og eskimorulle

    Tanner Skenderian | Museum Assignment 2 Anthro 1218 Harvard’s Own St. Lawrence Island Umiak The Umiak model at the Harvard Museum of Natural History Model best resembles that of St. Lawrence Island The umiak was a symbol of community and a staple for survival for many native populations of circumpolar North America. Dating back as far as 2,000 years, the umiak has varied slightly in coordination with the needs and customs of different populations. The model of an umiak at the Harvard Museum of Natural History was catalogued with very little information about the specific boat it represents. Through closer analysis of its construction and a few minor exceptions, this model arguably is the closest in resemblance to the umiak of St. Lawrence Island. The structure and construction of the St. Lawrence Island umiak is one of the more well- documented despite the fact that traditional boat construction is passed down generation to generation (Fair, 2005: 235). St. Lawrence Island is located in Nome, Alaska, in the southern inlet of the Bering Strait. Umiaks are distinct from kayaks, structures sometimes referred to as “Eskimo Hunting Boats,” for their wider shape and lack of a super-structure (United States National Museum, 1964: 190). The claims that support that this is an umiak of St. Lawrence Island, despite the fact that it is catalogued as an “Oomiak” of Northern Labrador and not Alaska, will hopefully be dispelled in the pages that follow. Walrus hide typically bounds the umiak, commonly known as a skin boat. The St. Lawrence Island umiak was typically bound in the hide of a female walrus.

  • Reconstructing the St . Lawrence Island Kayak
    RECONSTRUCTING THE ST. LAWRENCE ISLAND KAYAK: FROM FORGOTTEN WATERCRAFT TO A BERING SEA MARITIME NETWORK Evguenia Anichtchenko Center for Maritime Archaeology, University of Southampton, 7009 Madelynne Way, Anchorage, AK 99504; [email protected] ABSTRACT St. Lawrence Island kayaks are absent in both museum collections and written historical sources. At the same time, the pictorial record, indigenous oral lore, and archaeological data point to uninter- rupted use of kayaks well into the beginning of the twentieth century. Drawing on the analysis of kayak data from four archaeological sites, this article reconstructs structural details and discusses the history of the St. Lawrence kayak over the last millennium; it also analyzes the values of these data for understanding prehistoric maritime networks of the Bering Sea. The Bering Sea has one of the richest and most varied tradi- al Alaska, kayaks were still in use in 1910–1920s, when tions of indigenous kayaks in the entire circumpolar north. their significance for subsistence hunting was challenged Together with the Aleutian chain, the region features eight by easy access to different technologies (Golden 2015:11; ethnographic kayak variants, representing all indigenous Nelson 1969:308).

  • Title: Kayaks of Alaska
    Title: Kayaks of Alaska Author: Harvey Golden Published: 2015 Publisher: Author Website: www.traditionalkayaks.com Contents: 560 pp, figures & photos throughout, bibliography, index Cover: soft cover Size: A4, 215 mm x 280 mm Price: US$59 plus p&p of $60 ISBN: 978-0-9787221-2-8 Availability: author: [email protected] Review: Paul Caffyn Over the years my interest in the historical development of skin boats has grown, how, why and where the first kayaks and umiaks were built in the Arctic and why so many different styles of kayaks evolved for different conditions from Siberia eastwards to East Greenland. Perhaps I will start with brief descriptions of the earlier books devoted to skin boats. The very first authoritative work was published in 1964, The Bark and Skin Boats of North America, by Tappan Adney and Howard Chapelle. The bulk of the 241 page hardback is based on Adney's research into the building of bark canoes however Chapelle wrote a chapter on Arctic skin boats, the umiak and the kayak. The book, which was reprinted in 1983, is well illustrated with historical photos and detailed paddlecraft surveys. An appendix on `The Kayak Roll' was written by John Heath. In 1986 three significant books were published; H.C. Petersen's Skinboats of Greenland and David Zimmerley's Qayaq Kayaks of Siberia and Alaska. Both these books are really well illustrated with photos of the old days of paddling and diagrams of the lines of the boats. George Dyson authored a history and development of the Aleut skin kayaks titled Baidarka.
