Playboating
From KayakWiki
Playboating is perhaps the most modern type of kayaking. It involves showing off a variety of playboating moves, i.e. 'playing', rather than aiming to get from A to B.
Special short Playboats are designed to make this easier (allowing more flambouyant and sophisticated moves).
Playboating moves can often be executed on flatwater, but the ideal locations for playboating are called playspots (normally waves or holes)
Kayak surfing is a sub-category of playboating.
A playboating competition is called a Rodeo
