Kayaking

Kayaking is a leisure or sporting physical activity, practised with paddle-powered boats, such as canoes, kayaks, rafts or dugout canoes. This activity is also referred to as a “paddle sport”. Kayaking can be practised as a leisure activity (nautical tourism, individually or in an association) or in competition, in calm water (ponds), white water (rivers) and maritime (estuaries, sea) environments.
