Paddler

Squirt boats must be custom-fitted to the paddler to ensure comfort while maintaining the low interior volume necessary to allow the paddler to submerge completely in the river.

These vary in length and also shape depending on the intended use, height of the paddler and often, the paddler's preference.

It is considered a kayak although it was originally paddled with single-bladed paddles, and typically had more than one paddler.

It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.

Kayaks are long—convert, short—convert, wide—convert, or as narrow as the paddler's hips.

Ordinarily the seat of a sit-on-top is slightly above water level, so the center of gravity for the paddler is higher than in a traditional kayak.

The paddler is seated, facing forward, and uses a double-bladed paddle pulling the blade through the water on alternate sides to propel the boat forward.
