Kayaking and Canoeing in West London

Both canoeing and kayaking involve paddling a small craft through water. They are low-impact activities that can improve your aerobic fitness, strength and flexibility. Canoeing and kayaking can be done as a hobby, a competitive sport or as a fun activity on holidays. You can paddle on rivers, lakes and the sea.

 

Canoe is an open vessel and the person either sits or kneels inside the canoe and uses a single-bladed paddle to push the craft through the water. Kayak is an enclosed vessel and the person sits inside the kayak with legs extended and uses a double-bladed paddle.
