INTERACTION

CONCEPT NOTES:
Canoes and kayaks may be confusing to some but it is really easy to distinguish one from the other.
Kayaking and canoeing both require a paddle for propulsion and steering. The most noticeable difference is the
structure of the boat. A kayak has a cover deck, while a canoe is wide open. Kayakers extend legs and are
seated low or something on the deck. It uses a double- bladed paddle. A canoer, on one hand, sits on a raised
seat or kneels on the bottom of the boat and uses a single- bladed paddle.
The word “canoe” originated from the Carib word “kenu” which mean dugout. Canoes were originally
made from large tree trunks. The trunks were dried for months, and the middle part was burned. After which,
the burned part was scraped away with shells. The whole process took” one moon” or 28 days. The more well-
known version of the canoe was introduced by the North American Indians where the frame was built from
wooden ribs. The frame was covered with lightweight bark of birch trees and sometimes elm or cedar trees,
whichever was more available to them. The birch tree was the better choice though because it was lightweight
and smooth most importantly, it was resilient and contained waterproofing qualities.
Kayak or “qajak”, meaning “man’s boat” or “hunter’s boat” originated from the lnuit and aleut tribes of
Arctic North America. Interestingly, the early kayaks were very individualized as each kayak was crafted by the
user, basing the measurement to the frame of his body and not on any standard. Building the kayak was also a
joint effort of the man and his wife. The man builds the frame from wood or from whalebone skeleton and it
was wife’s job to stich the seal skin used to cover the frame. Whale fats were used to waterproof the boat. To
improve buoyancy, the natives placed air-filled bladders of the seal in the vessel.

BASIC PARTS OF CANOE AND KAYAK

CANOE

PARTS DEFINITION
STERN Rear end.

GUNWALE Acts as structural support and it defines shape od boat.

YOKE A beam in the center of canoe that allows the canoe to rest on a person’s
shoulder when portaging

THWART Crossbars reinforcing the canoe and prevent sides from puling apart un-
der load.

SEAT For paddle at the same bow part.

BOW Front part.

KAYAK

PARTS DEFINITION
FOOTBRACE Found inside where foot rest.

DECK Top half of the kayak.

HATCH Covering on the deck where food and gears can be stored.

COCKPIT Opening in the kayak’s deck where paddler sits. It can be covered with a
spray kit or waterproof kilt that is placed around the waist then slip over
cockpit’s rim or coaming.

HULL Buttom half of the kayak.

First, Learn How to Get In and Out of the Boats

Getting in Kayak:
Entering from the dock
Make sure that paddle is within reach. First, hold the back of the cockpit coaming the feet should be planted
near the centerline. Then lift self, with weight mainly supported by hand, and move bottom to the cockpit.
Getting from the shore
Put the paddle right behind the cockpit coaming and the other end against a rock. Take a firm hold from the
back of the cockpit coaming with the paddle between thumb and coaming, while the other hand is keeping the
paddle fix on the rock.
Getting in a Canoe:
Entering from Shore (Tandem Canoe)
Put the paddle in the end of the boat. Slide part of the boat in the water, and then hold the boat so kt will not
float away. The person who will be seated on the bow part enters first. That person should carefully walk down
the center of the canoe, while holding the gunwales. Position self then settle.
Entering from the dock
When entering from the dock, the same is basically done. However, it will be best to keep the boat parallel
horizontal to the dock. Get in the boat one at a time, taking turns in holding the boat steadily.
Second, Learn the Correct Posture
In Canoeing
The first thing to do is to relax, this way the muscle will not be too tight. While seated, lean just slightly for-
ward from the pelvis. The back should be straight without being forced. Shoulders should be slightly ahead of
hips, head or neck. The legs should be slightly bent, just enough so that you cannot push legs straight without
moving on the seat.
In Kayaking
Good posture is key if one wants to use the body efficiently. Do not lean on the backers but just sit straight and
relax the shoulder, opening the chest for ease in breathing. Keep legs together and feet against the foot pegs.
Adjust foot pegs making sure that the knee can bend slightly and spread and press against the kayak for extra
balance if necessary.
ACTIVITIES IN CANOES AND KAYAK
SEA KAYAKING Is done in open water such as ocean or the lake. Kayaks maybe sit-
on-top or decked design.

WATER KAYAKING OR CANOEING
Is paddling down the whitewater rivers. A flat-bottomed boat will
help the boat spin on the water and take on the rapid for practicing
various maneuvers. The rounded bottom will involve paddling
down river from one point a different point and usually a distance
of several miles.

FLATWATER RECREATION Is a relaxing canoeing or kayaking where you can take a gentle pad-
dle down a calm river, ocean or lake to do some sightseeing.

SAILING Is where the canoe or kayak is fitted with sail.

SURF KAYAKING Is where the kayak is typically fitted with fin, rather like surfboard.

MARATHON RACING Is a lengthy race down a river using the kayak or canoe.
