Canoeing-Kayaking Paycen, Curtis, Alan History: What is Canoeing Canoeing is the practice of getting into a small boat and using a single bladed paddle to propel yourself forward in the water. A Canoe is an open deck boat where people are in a seated or kneeling rowing position. The Canoe was invented in the Netherlands between 8200 and 7600 BC History: What is Kayaking Kayaking is similar to canoeing where an individual is in a small craft with the goal of propelling oneself forward, but differently then a canoe, a kayak is a closed deck boat where the individual is in a seated position with their legs placed straight in front of them and using a double bladed paddle to steer and propel. Kayaks are believed to be at least 4000 years old ands first used by Inuit hunters. Where to sit Basic strokes Forward stroke 1.Grab your paddle Place upper hand on the top grip of the paddle 2.Plant and pull Reach as far forward as you comfortably can. Plant the paddle blade fully in the water and pull the blade back towards you alongside the canoe 3.Tips Don’t let your arms do all the work – use your entire upper body to drive each stroke, twisting at the waist Keep a relaxed and loose grip https://canoeing.com/basic-forward-paddle-stroke/ Backwards Stroke 1.The backward stroke is used to stop the canoe when you already have forward momentum or slow it in moving water. 2.Simply reach back with both hands and put the paddle in the water to the rear of your body. Then pull forward. 3.Keep the flat side of the blade perpendicular to the canoe. The J-Stroke 1.Plant your paddle 2.Pull through the water 3.Turn your wrist to make a J 4.Notes ● ● ● https://canoeing.com/canoe-strokes-j-stroke/ The J-stroke is for steering, so it’s only used by the paddler in the back. If your front paddler is stronger than you, you won’t need the J-stroke as often. High winds and rough water may make switching sides more effective and easier than the J-stroke. Draw Stroke 1.Handy when you need to move the canoe sideways or when you’re pulling up to a dock. 2.Reach out as far as possible with the lower hand and place paddle in the water. Pull your shaft hand inward, this creates leverage and moves the canoe in the direction of your paddling side. Kayak -How to paddle ● ● ● ● Look at each paddle blade and make sure the longer edge of each blade is on the top. Make sure the scooped sides of your paddle blades are facing you Place your large knuckles on top of the paddle shaft so that they are in line with the top of your paddle blades. Relax your grip. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pXnr6FwdV0&t=80s&ab_channel=Paddling.com Self Rescue 1.Stay calm 2.Set up Paddle Float. 3.Flip the boat 4.Use paddle as outrigger to pull yourself on the boat. 5.

As the sole organisation responsible for canoe and kayak paddling sports by the International Olympic Committee (IOC), it administers all aspects of canoe sport, across 10 disciplines, worldwide. ● The International Canoe Federation (ICF) was founded in 1946. Canoeing became a full medal sport at the 1936 Berlin Games. Different kinds of sports in the olympics Similar to swimming there are different variations of the sports practiced in the Olympics. The major events are the Canoe Sprint and the Canoe Slalom with both events having categories for Kayaks. About the Sport Sprint Slalom ● Sprint is based on pure “speed on the course” and requires a calm water surface. ● Slalom is conducted on flowing water, rushing down a steep course where competitors attempt to navigate a course in single runs against the clock. Canoe and Kayak Sprint 1.Canoe sprint is a race to the line on a flatwater course with international competition set over four distances: 200, 500, 1000 and 5000 meters. 2.Races are contested as individuals and teams with up to four athletes in a boat. 3.Both canoes and kayaks compete in the sprint discipline and are distinguished on the results sheet by their initial letter C and K followed by the number of competitors in the boat, the gender and then the distance. For example, K1M 200m is kayak men's singles over 200 meters. In international competition races are split into nine lanes that are allocated randomly in the initial heats; subsequently lane positions are set by qualification time: five being the fastest to qualify, then six, four, three, two, seven, eight, one and nine. Canoe Sprint https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdqu8m9Ce34&a b_channel=PlanetCanoe Kayak Sprint Canoe Kayak Slalom Unlike the format of the straight line race in the Canoe and Kayak sprints the Slalom is in a way an obstacle course where participants must paddle through rapids while going through specific gates before crossing the finish line. There are two types of gates, a green gate which must be crossed going down stream and red gates which must be crossed going up stream. Failing to go through a gate properly results in a 50 second penalty. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQJsQPKLurU Sport Equipment 1.Kayak/Canoe 2.Paddle 3.Personal Flotation Device(Life Jackets) 4.Sunglasses 5.Whistles 6.Sun-shielding hat 7.Dry bags Sport Equipment Bilge Pump:Makes it easy to remove unwanted water from any open boat Spray Skirt:When the air and water are cold, a spray skirt helps create a warm environment inside the boat, and it keeps out rain and splashes. Paddle float :serves as an outrigger to stabilize your boat in an unassisted re-entry situation. References https://www.canoeicf.com/canoe-kayak-difference https://www.rookieroad.com/sports-lists/list-of-canoe-kayak-sports-a-z/ https://www.canoeicf.com/ https://canoekayak.ca/about-the-sport/ https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/kayak-strokes.html https://olympics.com/ioc/international-canoe-federation https://canoeing.com/basic-forward-paddle-stroke/
