A folding kayak or Klepper canoe is a direct descendant of the original Inuit kayak made of animal skins stretched over frames made from wood and bones. A modern folder has a collapsible frame made of some combination of wood, aluminium and plastic, and a skin made of a tough fabric with a waterproof coating. Many have integral air chambers inside the hull, making them virtually unsinkable.

“Im folding up my little dreams
Within my heart tonight,
And praying I may soon forget
The torture of their sight.”
