'''Kayaking''' is the use of a [[kayak]] for moving over water. It is distinguished from [[canoeing]] by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canoeicf.com/icf/London2012/Media-Section/Difference-between-Kayak-Canoe-Rowing.html |title=ICF - Canoeing, Kayaking and Rowing: So what's the difference anyway? |publisher=Canoeicf.com |access-date=2013-11-07|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120815083926/http://www.canoeicf.com/icf/London2012/Media-Section/Difference-between-Kayak-Canoe-Rowing.html |archive-date=August 15, 2012}}</ref> Most kayaks have closed decks, although [[Kayak#Sit-on-top|sit-on-top]] and [[Kayak#Inflatable|inflatable kayaks]] are growing in popularity as well.<ref>{{cite web|title=Kayak Review|url=http://www.kayakreview.org/|website=Kayak Review|access-date=July 18, 2015}}</ref>
