i enjoys kayaking in my free time.
[{"role": "system", "content": "A kayak is a small, narrow watercraft which is propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle. The word kayak originates from the Greenlandic word \"qajaq\" (). The traditional kayak has a covered deck and one or more cockpits, each seating one paddler. The cockpit is sometimes covered by a spray deck that prevents the entry of water from waves or spray and makes it possible for suitably skilled kayakers to roll the kayak: that is, to capsize and right it without it filling with water or ejecting the paddler. ] Some modern boats vary considerably from a traditional design but still claim the title \"kayak\", for instance in eliminating the cockpit by seating the paddler on top of the boat (\"sit-on-top\" kayaks); having inflated air chambers surrounding the boat; replacing the single hull by twin hulls, and replacing paddles with other human-powered propulsion methods, such as foot-powered rotational propellers and \"flippers\". Kayaks are also being sailed, as well as propelled by means of small electric motors, and even by outboard gas engines. The kayak was first used by the indigenous Aleut, Inuit, Yupik and possibly Ainu hunters in subarctic regions of the world. Kayaks (Inuktitut: \"qajaq\" (\u1583\u152d\u1585 ), Yup'ik: \"qayaq\" (from \"qai-\" \"surface; top\"), Aleut: \"Iqyax\") were originally developed by the Inuit, Yup'ik, and Aleut.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I love kayaking, it requires the use of a kayak as you can imagine, which is a small, narrow watercraft."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah I've seen them, can you tell me more about them."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "They have an interesting history, they were actually used by the indigenous Aleut, Inuit, and Yupik in the subarctic regions of the world."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Really, how old is the kayak."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "I don't know exactly, but if they were used by the Inuit and even Ainu, probably at least a thousand years old or more."}, {"role": "user", "content": "Yeah they must have been around for a while.  Do you know why they were made for?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well if they were used by hunters I would assume it's because they were easier to build and manuever than a full-sized boat, and they probably hunted fish with them."}, {"role": "user", "content": "That makes sense I know they are small so they can fit in shallow water were bigger boats cant make it.
