kayak
use double bladed paddle
kayak
Wide open
Canoe
On one hand sits on a raised seat or kneels on the bottom of the boat.
Uses single bladed paddle
Canoe
Characterestic of kayak and kanoe
Length
Beam
Bottom shape
Profile or sides of the boat
Longer boats are Faster and move on a straight line. They also can carry more people. However these are not easy to maneuver shorter boats are easier and comparative lighter and easy to handle
length
Generally the wider the boat the more stable however a narrower cayak and canoe may be faster but less stable
Beam
Three basic bottom shapes
Flat
Round
Vee
This design is has good stability in calm water
Flat
This designed for speed and efficiency.
Round
This boat is between the flat and round bottom design boat
Vee
The sides of the boat curve inwards as they come up, which make the beam narrower on the deck
Tumblehome design
The slides curve outward ( flares out ) making the beam wider
Flared sides
is a little bit of the two
Straight sides
How do you choose paddle
Wider and taller kayaks need longer paddles
If a person is small build, then a shorter, lighter paddle is the best so as not overexert oneself.
Another way of measuring canoe is while in standing.
Wider blades give you more acceleration but must also deal with more resistance
Narrower blades use less effort per stroke but required more strokes
Curved blades increase power each stroke
What are profile side of the boat

Kayaking and canoeing is paddling down the whitewater rivers.
White water
Is done in open water such as the ocean or the lake
Sea kayaking
is relaxing canoeing or kayaking where you can take a gentle paddle down a calm river, ocean, or lake to do some sight seeing
Flatwater recreation
is where the kayak is typically fitted with a fin, rather like a surfboard
surfkayaking
is where the canoe or kayak is fitted with a snail
Sailing
Is length race down a river using the kayak or canoe
Marathon racing
How does one starts the canoeing and kayaking adventure
First learn how to get in and out
second Learn correct posture
Third learn the proper way of holding the paddle
fourth Let us learn the basic of making the boat move forward
Important things that we should always remember to be safe
K now first your skill in swimming and canoeing or kayaking
A void paddling alone, paddling far from coastline, or padding in routes of ships
Y ield to safety and know where to go incase of emergency
A always wear personal floatation devices and other safety equipment
K eep hydrated as you will be under the sun
C heck weather condition
A always plan ahead
N ever forget to put things in waterproof bags
O rientation given by facilitators or leader important
E quipment should be tried always checked
Is peeking through life underneath water by swimming with aid of a snorkel and mask, one can observe the underwater attractions for a longer period of time without the need to constantly resurface to gasp for air , and with relative lesser effort
snorkeling
Serves as the viewing device in appreciating the world beneath the water.
Mask
holds the mask to the face underwater
strap
is the soft flexible material that seals the mask around the face
mask skirt
cushion and protects the nose.
nose pocket
is a peace of equipment that makes it possible to breathe at the surface while the face is submerged in water
snorkel
Allows the top and mouth piece to rotate to different angles to better fit the face
flexible tube
This small valve just lower than the mouth that empties the collected water that comes down the tube when one blows it out
Purge valve
prevents splashed water and spray from easily entering the tubve
splash gaurd
is a special valve on top of the tube that completely stop water and air from entering the tube when a wave comes or when diving underwater
Dry valve
are obviously wider and thus have a larger surface area than the feet, and therefore they encountered more water and produce more resistance, thus works better than the bare feet
snorkeling fins
Cover the heel and are put on like slip on shoes
full foot fins
Generally has more rigid blade than the full foot fin and it can provide more forward thrust but requires more effort to use
adjustable fins
they are suitable for more technical dive or dives site with strong current
paddle bladed fins
offer less joint pressure an no pain while you develop the right kicking motion since your strokes feel less powerful
split fins
are small and inflatable which provide more buoyancy while floating on water. this will help in consuming less energy in moving aroun
snorkel vest
is a big help in keeping the hair out of the snorkel an the face as well.
swimming cap
