Difference between
KAYAK and CANOE
• KAYAKING

- is a water sport involving a low sitting boat propelled by a human paddler with a doubled bladed paddle.  In
kayaking, the torso and legs will do most of the work.

- was originally invented for hunting, but now kayaks are mainly used for recreation and competitive sporting
events worldwide.
• CANOEING

- The word ‘canoe’ was generated from the word ”kenu” which means dugout. It has a single bladed paddle.
These canoes were made out of large tree trunks by shaping them and making them hollow. It was also
made sure that they were strong enough to travel from one island to another.

- They made a frame of wooden ribs and covered them with lightweight bark of birch trees. This simple
design has not been modified much over the years and had remained more or less the same. The oldest
known canoe is Pesse Canoe, believed to be constructed between 8200 and 7600 BC was found in the
Netherlands.
