Kayaking

Keywords: kayak, kayaking, paddling, paddle sports, canoe, canoeing, rapids

Kayaking is another paddle sport similar to canoeing except a kayak has a closed-deck and a canoe generally is open.   Kayaks are also propelled with a double blades paddel (a blade on each end) and the canoe generally uses a single bladed paddle.   Kayaks usually do not have a seat of bench like a canoe as the rider generally sits on the bottom of the kayak with their legs straight.  

Kayaks are generally used in more rapid bodies of water than canoes because the are more stable, easier and faster to steer.  Most kayakers look for rivers that have a lot of rapids to navigate.  Kayaks are also used on lakes and oceans and provide a scenic way to get great excerise.
