About Canoe Kayak Sprint

Canoe sprint features two boats, the canoe or kayak races in a straight line over various set distances on flat, calm water.

Canoeing - the paddler uses a single-bladed paddle to propel the boat forward and does so on one side of the boat only, and while kneeling on one knee.
Kayaking - the paddler sits in the boat and uses a double-bladed paddle – one blade alternatively on each side of the boat.
