Someone should tell EJ that this is a canoe not a kayak
Hi Dan, I actually do know a canoe from a kayak, but wanted to see how observant GMG readers are. I thought Paul Morrison, Ed Collard or Adam Bolonsky would have picked up on it immediately. You were obviously the most observant GMG reader to read this post.
Sorry, I would have been on this like white on rice but I was busy making my dog’s eyes blink.
The difference between a canoe and kayak can be muddled. If that person had a double bladed paddle and she was windmilling that paddle I would say she was kayaking. It’s the paddle that defines the difference.
Some other people muddle it even more by saying that kayaking is a subset of canoeing. So you can “go canoeing” in a kayak but you cannot kayak in a canoe. For the Blackburn challenge next year I might try a kayak paddle sitting on a large wind surfer board that is just like a Stand Up Paddle board. I won’t have a sail so I won’t be windsurfing and I won’t be SUP paddling because most of the time I will be sitting with a kayak paddle but I might have a SUP paddle onboard so I can stand up and paddle if I am bored kayaking. So what am I doing? Again, I think it is the type of paddle that names the act. Do I get to go early with the SUPers or do I get released with the kayakers?
Stella’s eye blinking is very cool. Huh! I thought a canoe was an open boat and a kayak was enclosed, and they use a single blade paddle for a canoe and a double bladed paddle for a kayak and that was the difference. I never knew the paddle identified the endeavor and that you could canoe in a kayak or vice versa just by switching paddles. You may force Blackburn Challenge to create another category of crossover paddlers.
