What is Flat Water Canoe Racing?
Flat Water Racing is a fun physical activity, with many opportunities in both
recreation and competition. The sport has two basic divisions canoe and
kayak, although some athletes do both. Although the boats can be tipsy at first,
it doesnt take a lot of practice to get used to them, and as long as you join
in the warmer weather, it isnt too bad when you fall in.
Kayaks are covered boats, with a cockpit. You sit
in a kayak and use a double-bladed paddle, and use a rudder to steer. Canoes are
uncovered open boats. You high kneel in a canoe, and use a single bladed
paddle, and have to use technique to steer.
Beyond the Canoe-Kayak division, boats are
further divided into team boats and singles. There are three sizes of boats
Single, Doubles, and Fours, commonly called K-1, K-2, and K-4 for kayaks, and
C-1, C-2, and C-4 for canoes. K-1s and C-1s offer a great individual sporting
experience, while the team boats offer a great teamwork experience. Even when
you are in singles, every race you do earns points for the club, so even
individual efforts help the team.
The race distances are generally 200m, 500m, 1000m, and 6000m. 2000m and 8000m
are also occasionally offered.
Who can race?
Anyone who is ages eight and up. In Flat Water, races are generally with people
of the same age.
How do I join?
