    CANOEING

    Introduction
    At the request of sir Dexter Saliling. The report contains collected and evaluated
    data about this activity.

    The use for sport, recreation, or competition of a canoe, kayak, or foldboat, all


    small, narrow, lightweight boats propelled by paddles and pointed at both ends.
    Canoeing is an activity which involves paddling a canoe with a single-bladed
    paddle. Common meanings of the term are limited to when the canoeing is the
    central purpose of the activity. Broader meanings include when it is combined with
    other activities such as canoe camping, or where canoeing is merely a
    transportation method used to accomplish other activities. Most present-day
    canoeing is done as or as a part of a sport or recreational activity. In some parts of
    Europe canoeing refers to both canoeing and kayaking, with a canoe being called
    an open canoe.
    A few of the recreational forms of canoeing are canoe camping and canoe racing.
    Other forms include a wide range of canoeing on lakes, rivers, oceans, ponds and
    streams.

    Equipment needed for Canoeing


     Canoeing Canoe
    Canoes are general purpose two or three person crafts, and between the
    disciplines of canoeing the overall hull type stays similar. The difference
    between flat water and white water is that white water canoes are more
    pointed on the bottom and flat-water canoes are flatter.
     Canoeing Dry Bags
    Dry Bags are devices that roll and seal items against getting wet. Often made
    of rubber or other synthetic material, these are essentials to give you peace of
    mind while out on the water. These can be used to store personal items like
    phones, wallets, and keys, but can also be used to store snacks as well.
     Canoeing Personal Flotation Device
    A personal floatation device (a PFD or life vest) is required to be out on the
    water at most times. At a public lake with boating, PFDs are required or you
    can be fined. A PFD is a vest made of buoyant material to help you stay afloat
    in the water. A note, however: PFD’s do not take the place of the ability to
    swim, and that is why they have stopped being called life vests. They help
    you stay afloat; they do not stay afloat for you. Flatwater PFDs are class three
    PFDs typically. These are the iconic life vests, and can also be tailored to be
    sport specific for higher speed water sports.
     Canoeing Paddles
    Without paddles, canoes would be at a standstill. The paddles for canoeing
    are different than that of kayaking: the two paddles have different lengths.
    The shorter paddle goes in the front and the longer paddle goes in the rear.
    The rear rower is typically a power position, providing the thrust, while the
    front rower guides the canoe.
     Canoeing White Water Helmet
    Being on white water requires a specific white-water helmet to protect your
    head from rocks and from being thrown into objects if you go overboard.
    Going overboard is not the end of the world, if you have the safety items that
    you need. A white-water helmet is designed and tested to be under the water
    and protect the top and sides of your head from the impacts associated with
    the sport. White water is usually tackled by rafts, kayaks, and canoes.

    Benefits of Canoeing
     Canoeing and kayaking are low impact activities that can improve your
    aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility. Specific health benefits
    include: Improved cardiovascular fitness. Increased muscle strength,
    particularly in the back, arms, shoulders and chest, from moving the paddle.
