Have you noticed that kayak has a paddle with two ends instead the canoe paddle has only one? The power concentrates on those 2 extremities of the paddle. Imagine the canoe of boating, the paddles are long, they put less energy than a canoer and go faster than him. Btw canoers are strong asf and I dare you talk like this again if you haven't experimented the pain all girls and boys has experimented.
