Canoeing is a recreational activity in which the canoe is paddled. It is carried out for the purpose of recreation also known as a float trip, transportation or sport. Canoeing mostly refers to utilizing a paddle to thrust a canoe with the help of the human muscle power alone. In canoeing a kayak is shoved by the utilization of a paddle with two blades wherein the paddler is supposed to sit with his legs typically extended in front of them, while canoes are pushed with the use of single or double bladed paddles where the paddler – the canoeist or the canoer is kneeled or seated on a thwart or seat, with the knees bent in such a way that the legs are more or less underneath them. The kayaks are usually the close decked boats with a spray deck, whereas canoes are mostly open boats. But there can also be closed canoes and open kayaks. Technically speaking a kayak can also be viewed as a special kind of a canoe. But a canoe cannot be easily called as a kayak. The term canoeing is internationally used as a common term for both the sports but the terms canoe or kayak and paddle sports are used individually as well. But in North America the term canoeing is used with strict reference to canoes only and not for both canoes and kayaks. The paddling of kayaks is called as kayaking. |
