Q: What are the different paddling disciplines you compete in and how do they differ?
There are three main types: surf ski racing on the ocean (S1 solo, S2 duos), canoe sprints (K1, K2, K4 on flat water with distances of 200, 500, 1,000, and 5,000 meters), and marathon racing (longer distances with portages). Each requires different boat types and race strategies, but all demand full-body strength and timing.
