Whitewater kayaking is an adventure sport where a river is navigated in a decked kayak. Whitewater kayaking includes several styles. River running; where the paddler follows a river and paddles rapids as they travel. Creeking usually involving smaller, steeper, and more technical waterways. Creek boats tend to be short but high volume to allow for manoeuvrability while maintaining buoyancy. Slalom requires paddlers to navigate through "gates" (coloured poles hanging above the river). Slalom is the only whitewater event to be in the Olympics. Play boating involves staying on one feature of the river and is more artistic than the others. Squirt boating uses low-volume boats (usually made specifically for the paddler) to perform special moves in whitewater features.

  • Le kayak de rivière est une pratique sportive ou de loisir. La discipline consiste à descendre des rivières dans un kayak ou un canoë, généralement en plastique ou en fibre. Cette activité nécessite à la fois des qualités techniques, physiques et mentales afin de pouvoir être réalisée en toute sécurité. C'est également pour cette raison qu'elle se pratique généralement en équipe. (fr)

  • Wildwatervaren is de tak van het kanovaren waarbij het erom gaat om beheerst wildwater te bevaren. Wildwatervaren wordt ook gedaan met grote 'opblaasboten': rafts, en hydrospeeds ('wildwaterzwemmen'). De moeilijkheidsgraden van rivieren worden aangeduid op een schaal van 'WW1' tot 'WW6': WW1 is gemakkelijk en WW6 is onbevaarbaar. (nl)
  • Forspaddling är paddling i åar och älvar med inslag av fors. Forspaddling bedrivs i huvudsak med kanot (kajak eller kanadensare) och skiljer sig därmed från till exempel forsränning som utförs med gummibåt avsedd för flera personer. (sv)
  • Kajakarstwo górskie – pływanie kajakiem po górskich rzekach lub innych ciekach wodnych o podobnym charakterze. Można mówić co najmniej o pięciu konkurencjach kajakarstwa górskiego: * zjazd – wyścig na określonej trasie bez bramek, * slalom – wyścig trasą wyznaczoną bramkami, * river running – spływanie po rzekach górskich, * creeking – spływanie po wąskich strumieniach o bardzo dużym spadku, * freestyle (playboating, rodeo) – konkurencja kajakowa polegająca na wykonywaniu akrobacji. Odbywają się zawody, w których występy kajakarzy są punktowane przez sędziów. * * playboating (pl)
