Canoe / Kayak Flat-water is a water sport in which participants compete in a rowing boat at certain sections. There are two main types of boats in the sport. Such as kayaking and canoeing. The difference is that in the kayak each rower uses oars with two blades 230d stamp, while in the canoe the paddler used an ore with one spatula 150d stamp. For better use of force in the canoe the paddler sit kneeling on one leg, while the kayaker sits on the bottom of the kayak.
Compared to the other water sports including flat-water boats rowing, rowers in the sport do not have mobile sites, nor supports the paddler in the boat, and paddle and weight hold the craft in balance and manoeuvrable. Also, it is important to point out the difference between this sport and kayaking and canoeing on wild water, “dead water“ means a lake or other water surface with no perceptible movement of water or large waves. „Wild water “means the fast flowing stream where water is noticeable and present waves, rapids, waterfalls, etc...
