Stojan Burnik Avtor dela: RECENZENT GREGOR ZADRAVEC doc. dr. Blaž Jereb KONZULTANT Andrej Jelenc, prof. šp. vzg. Ljubljana, 2016 ZAHVALA Zahvaljujem se vsem kajakašicam in kajakašem, ki so me učili, vsem, ki sem jih imel priložnost učiti, in družini, ki mi je stala ob strani. Ključne besede: morski kajak, razvoj, oprema, tehnika, reševanje MORSKI KAJAK KOT KAJAKAŠKA DISCIPLINA – RAZVOJ IN ZNAČILNOST Gregor Zadravec Univerza v Ljubljani, Fakulteta za šport, 2016 Športno treniranje, kondicijsko treniranje 60 strani; 20 slik; 48 virov. IZVLEČEK Diplomsko delo opisuje razvoj discipline v svetu in pri nas, našteje vodilne organizacije, ki bdijo nad razvojem morskega kajaka in pojasni, kaj je sistem Barvna vesla in zakaj bi moral pritegniti prav morskega kajakaša. O disciplini je bilo v Sloveniji nekaj napisanega v obliki člankov, internih gradiv Kajakaške zveze Slovenije in v poglavjih publikacij, ki govorijo o kajakaštvu v širšem pomenu. Glavni cilj diplomskega dela je prvič celostno opisati disciplino, njen razvoj in značilnosti ter morskemu kajakašu podati znanje/informacije na enem mestu. Učitelj morskega kajaka lahko diplomsko delo uporablja kot katalog znanj, ki jih mora prenesti na učence, učenci pa kot učbenik, ki podpre razlago in demonstracijo kvalificiranega učitelja morskega kajaka. Posebej pomembno je poglavje o reševanju. Veliko kajakašev v morski kajak namreč prihaja iz drugih disciplin ter ne razmišlja o tehniki v dolgem kajaku v izrazito dinamičnem okolju. Reševalni manevri so zato še bolj zapostavljeni, na terenu pa nujni in skoraj dnevno potrebni, če želimo v disciplini izkusiti še kaj drugega kot samo vrtenje po zalivu. Argumenta, da je naše morje majhno in mirno, seveda ne moremo sprejeti, saj nam je to isto morje že nekajkrat dokazalo, da je še vedno večje in bolj divje od človeka z veslom in s kajakom. Keywords: sea kayak, evolution, gear, skills, safety, rescue SEA KAYAK AS A KAYAKING DISCIPLINE – EVOLUTION AND FEATURES University of Ljubljana, Faculty of Sport, 2016 Sports training, conditioning training 60 pages; 20 pictures; 48 references. ABSTRACT The thesis describes the evolution of sea kayaking in the world and in Slovenia. It lists the main organizations responsible for its development and evolution and clarifies what the Euro Paddle Pass system is and why it can be attractive especially to sea kayakers. Slovenia has seen some publications on sea kayaking before in the form of articles, internal materials of the Slovenian Canoe Federation, and in the works that describe general canoeing. The main goal of the thesis is to give a comprehensive description of the discipline, its evolution, and features so that the user can find all of the knowledge/information in one work. Sea kayaking coaches can use it as a catalogue of skills and know-how to be delivered to their students, while the students can use it as a textbook that supports the explanation and demonstration of a qualified coach. The chapter about rescue techniques is very important since a lot of sea kayakers come from other canoeing disciplines and don't think about the technique in a long kayak in a very dynamic environment. The rescue maneuvers are therefore neglected, although they prove to be at the same time necessary and needed on a daily basis if we want to experience more than just floating around in the cove. The argument that the Adriatic Sea is small and calm cannot be excepted, as it has been proven to us many times that the sea is still bigger and wilder than the human with a paddle and a kayak.

So we turned back to Illorsuit and soon there were small waves with white tops. Well, that was a bit more challenging for me, but Karli said I was doing fine. I had to hope he was right because the kayak I was using — Ludwig Quist the headman of the village had lent it to me — was much less stable than my own Scottish kayak, which was several inches wider than the Greenland ones.

  • Paddling Greenland Style
    Paddling Greenland style The early history The origin of kayaks is relatively unknown. We know from identified archeological finds that they 2000 years ago looked much like modern Greenland kayaks. But some years ago fragments of what may have been a 5000-year-old rib was dug up on a site in Western Greenland, together with tools reminding of a modern harpoon and fragments of a paddle. The excavation showed that the people lived on sea mammals that could not have been caught without boats. But kayaks may be even older – archeological finds from the coast of Bering Sound indicate that some kind of skin boat may have been in use 8000 years ago. The problem is that these crafts were built in natural material and decomposed quickly even in the cold arctic areas. The clues are mostly pieces of bone or stone that may have been used with the kayaks or umiaks – not the very crafts and paddles. The people The arctic north was colonized from Siberia in a number of waves. First were the fishing/hunting tribes of the Paleoarctic Tradition that around 11000 BC wandered across the Bering Sound that in those days were dry land. They may have used boats but we do not know for certain. After them came the Arctic Small Tool Tradition, 4500 BC, leaving behind them the aforementioned harpoon and paddle. Next in line was the Norton Tradition, 3000 BC, also with some evidence of marine activities. The Dorset Culture was of Indian/Eskimo heritage and settled on the west coast of Greenland 500 BC, leaving no traces of kayaks or related tools.

  • Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams
    Kark's Canoeing and Kayaking Guide to 309 Wisconsin Streams By Richard Kark May 2015 Introduction A Badger Stream Love Affair My fascination with rivers started near my hometown of Osage, Iowa on the Cedar River. High school buddies and I fished the river and canoe-camped along its lovely limestone bluffs. In 1969 I graduated from St. Olaf College in Minnesota and soon paddled my first Wisconsin stream. With my college sweetheart I spent three days and two nights canoe- camping from Taylors Falls to Stillwater on the St. Croix River. “Sweet Caroline” by Neil Diamond blared from our transistor radio as we floated this lovely stream which was designated a National Wild and Scenic River in 1968. Little did I know I would eventually explore more than 300 other Wisconsin streams. In the late 1970s I was preoccupied by my medical studies in Milwaukee but did find the time to explore some rivers. I recall canoeing the Oconto, Chippewa, Kickapoo, “Illinois Fox,” and West Twin Rivers during those years. Several of us traveled to the Peshtigo River and rafted “Roaring Rapids” with a commercial company. At the time I could not imagine riding this torrent in a canoe. We also rafted Piers Gorge on the Menomonee River. Our guide failed to avoid Volkswagen Rock over Mishicot Falls. We flipped and I experienced the second worst “swim” of my life. Was I deterred from whitewater? Just the opposite, it seems. By the late 1970s I was a practicing physician, but I found time for Wisconsin rivers. In 1979 I signed up for the tandem whitewater clinic run by the River Touring Section of the Sierra Club’s John Muir Chapter.
