What equipment is used in canoeing?
Canoes are paddled using a single bladed paddle. Kayaks come in a variety of types and sizes and are paddled by a double-bladed paddle by a seated paddler. Kayaks tend to be enclosed and have cockpits for the paddler to sit in. canoeing involves using a single-bladed paddle, which requires a different technique than a double-bladed paddle used in kayaking. In canoeing, the paddler needs to switch sides of the boat to change direction, which can be challenging for beginners.There are two main forms of the canoe. The modern recreational or sport Canadian canoe is open from end to end; it is propelled with a paddle having a single blade. The kayak has a covered deck with a well, or cockpit, into which the paddler snugly fits; it is propelled with a double-bladed paddle.The main reasons why I consider canoeing harder than kayaking are: Canoes are more technical to steer. Canoes are more susceptible to wind and wind gusts. Canoes have a higher center of balance.Canoes tend to be broader and more stable and do not flip as quickly. However, kayaks, as they are steered with double-bladed paddles, can be easier to navigate and control.
