@turtleguy923 Two entirely different approaches to whitewater. Canoes and kayaks are very different. But a canoe can do everything a kayak can, and can hold beer
@Alexdieded It depends on how much you weigh and what type of rivers you are wanting to paddle. The website cboats.net has lots of great info.
Also, there is a new boat coming out this month called the Esquif L’Edge that may be the best boat for getting into the sport. I’m getting one this week. I will try to post some video
A canoe is a small narrow boat, typically human-powered, though it may also be powered by sails or small electric or gas motors. Canoes are usually pointed at both bow and stern and are normally open on top, but can be decked over i.e. covered, similar to a kayak.In its human-powered form, the canoe is propelled by the use of paddles, usually by two people. Paddlers face in the direction of travel, either seated on supports in the hull, or kneeling directly upon the hull. Paddling can be contrasted with rowing, where the rowers usually face away from the direction of travel and use mounted oars though a wide canoe can be fitted with oarlocks and rowed. Paddles may be single-bladed or double-bladed.

If you enjoy remote canoe-trip camping you may want to take a look at Temagami Ontario.

What kind of boat would you suggest for someone trying to get into this? Spanish fly-type OC1 or Esquif Nitro-type?

@CorreySchaad If you take the ‘skid plates’ off a traditional whitewater canoe, the airbags act as a scoop when you lean forward. It’s an “ender”
