#Note the differences in design. As mentioned earlier, typical canoes normally have an open deck, whereas kayaks normally have a closed deck. The differences in the two decks are essentially obvious: open decks expose the top and inside of the boat to the world, while closed decks cover the top and inside of the boat. Accordingly, a canoe with an open deck gives the paddler/s the opportunity to move freely, whereas a kayak with a closed deck surrounds the paddler/s and provides protection and secure seating.<ref>http://wonderopolis.org/wonder/whats-the-difference-between-canoes-and-kayaks</ref>[[Image:Tell the Difference Between a Kayak and Canoe Step 3 Version 3.jpg|center]]

#*For rougher water like sea kayaking or white water (class 3 and above), the enclosed deck combined with a spray skirt is significantly beneficial. A spray skirt is a covering material that surrounds the paddlers to help keep water out from the inside of the boat.<ref>http://bit.ly/2N8M8l6;
