Paddle sports cover kayak, canoe, SUP, and outrigger racing on rivers, lakes, and open ocean — from short sprints to marathon distances, split by craft. The water and the weather are as much a part of the race as the field.
It's a full-body, low-impact way to race, where reading the water and a smooth, repeatable stroke matter as much as raw power.
