In the kayak discipline, the athletes are seated with their legs out in front using a double-bladed paddle. The the canoe decked category the competitors are set in a kneeling position and use a single-bladed paddle. The open canoes are much the same just that the boats are of a bigger proportion. Lastly the squirt boats have no restrictions but a greater emphasis is placed on smooth control and graceful moves.
