Kayakers on Wild River Circa 1970 (Vintage 8mm Home Movie Footage). Canoeing is an outdoor activity that involves a special kind of canoe. When exactly a canoe can be called a kayak is difficult to determine though, and often arbitrary. Internationally, the term canoeing is used as a generic term for both forms though the terms "paddle sports" or "canoe/kayak" are also used. In North America, however, 'canoeing' usually refers only to canoes, as opposed to both canoes and kayaks. Paddling a kayak is also referred to as kayaking.Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. Kayaking and canoeing are also known as paddling. Kayaking is generally differentiated from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is defined by the International Canoe Federation (the
world sanctioning body) as a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double bladed paddle.
