Here is included some plans found freely on the internet.
Theory
Ww: see also Canoe Polo, recreational, slalom, playboating, Ww kayak shorter.
| Kayak | Length | Width |
|---|---|---|
| White water | 2.5 m (8') | 0.6 m (25") |
| Recreational | 3.0 m (10') | 0.75 m (30") |
| Touring | 5.2 m (17') | 0.55 m (22") |
Width (beam) is for the stability.
Bottom: flat or V.

Playboats, creek boats and river runners.
