Canoe Day

Canoes were traditionally made from wood and bark, then wood and canvas, and from there progressed to aluminium. Canoeists have to keep their centre of mass low, so they don't capsize the canoe. In the world of water sports, Canoeing Vs Kayaking is a very old debate. The sport of canoeing first appeared in the Olympic games at Paris, 1924. Canoe Day is a Canadian tradition that began in 2007 by the Canadian Canoe Museum.

Canoeing and kayaking are the most fascinating sports or hobbies in the world. If you happen to find yourself in Munich, Germany, you can see the world’s oldest surviving kayaks in the North American section of the Museum Five Continents. These kayaks are from the year 1577.

The first people in the world to build and use kayaks were Inuit, Aleut, and Yup’ik people. Today, people primarily kayak for fun and sightseeing. However, kayaks were originally designed for hunting.
