Kayak Definitions:

In regards to what constitute K1, Open and Recreational Kayaks for this event:

K1 attributes are governed by ICF and is set at 5.2m or 17feet. We have many ICF K1s participating and so are given its own category.
The 5km distance should be of interest to sprinters.


The 10km Kayak Open has been split by gender (female and male).
The 20km Kayak Open has been split into  Open - FSK and Open - HPK. [See below].


Open Kayak accommodates both Fast Sea Kayaks (FSK) and High Performance Kayaks (HPK) in the 10km race.
FSK and HPK are in their own category in the 20km race. If more females take part, then further splitting by gender could be done. 
Click here for a list of boat classes and their ratios.

Recreational Kayaks have a waterline length / beam ratio of less than 9.25. It is also split by gender.
