WATER ACTIVITIES

Canoeing, kayaking and paddling all refer to types of water sport that use light craft, normally made of fibre glass or plastic for craft used for recreational purposes, or from Kevlar or carbon fibre for racing boats.

Kayaking and canoeing are suitable for groups of young people or adults. The craft is propelled by one, two or four people (but not three) with a paddle.

The main types of craft used are canoes (called kayak in Spanish), propelled by a double-bladed paddle, and kayaks (called canoa in Spanish), propelled by a single-blade paddle.
