This section of the website contains a diversity of documents to outline the evolution sea kayaking in the modern era. It is acknowledged that it is limited in scope and the sources were written from a European perspective and as such only relate to a small part of the story. The section is subdivided. With one part focusing on the equipment and the other the evolution of the sport itself. As the modern sea kayak evolved into a craft to undertake long journeys in challenging environments this second section includes reports of noteworthy expeditions.

This history and development may also be traced in the ASKC and ISKA newsletters, indexing these newsletters to improve access to this is work in progress. The current indexing is also held in the Sport and Expeditions Section
