Disability flatwater sprint paddling over 200m in single/double kayaks and outrigger (va'a) canoes.

Team river descents in style on an inflatable raft using single-blade paddles - beware tricks possible!

The world's fastest growing watersport, stand up paddling allows an individual to remain upright on a buoyant surfboard.

All about riding that perfect wave in a modified freestyle kayak.

Lifesaving competitions: surfski (shorter than ocean-racing), rowing longboat, paddleboard, kneeboard, inflatable rescue craft races.

Incredible feats of human paddle endeavour on rivers (Canadian canoe, kayak, raft) and oceans (sea kayak, SUP, surfski, outrigger).

Strapped in and seated on a surfboard with a double-blade paddle, waveskiing is competitive aerial surfing.
