What Is Sprint Canoe

Sprint canoeing is done on flat water using light and narrow canoes.  It is done with one knee in a kneeling position, and the other leg in front and bent.  Paddling is done on one side.   The paddling is done either on the left or on the right but never both.  To canoe requires balance and the ability to direct the canoe along a straight line.  It is performed with one person (C1) or a team of two (C2).
