Creeking

From KayakWiki

Creeking or Creekboating is a type of kayaking which is arguably the most extreme form of whitewater kayaking, taking place in steep profile whitewater (creeks). It represents the oposite end of the spectrum from playboating, in that creek boat design is very functional rather than playful, the aim being to make it down larger drops, and punch through bigger stoppers which would normally trap a low-volume playboat.

Creeking is something of a buzzword sweeping the whitewater kayaking world at the moment, although it could be regarded as a return to the older style heavy high-volume whitewater kayak design.

A Creek boat is made of thick plastic for durability and has a lot of volume for resurfacing and control.
