	Playboating - Wikipaddle
		Playboating is a discipline of kayaking or canoeing where the paddler performs various technical moves in one place (a playspot), as opposed to whitewater canoeing or kayaking where the objective is to travel the length of a section of river (although whitewater canoeists will often stop and play en-route).
		Playboating is sometimes performed on dynamic moving features such as haystacks (large boils) and whirlpools, or on flat water (this is often referred to as flatwheeling).
		Playboating is often considered less effort and safer than whitewater river running (this is not always the case).

	Adventure Sports Journal Online
		Playboating is a sub-discipline of whitewater kayaking that focuses on doing tricks and maneuvers in the river.
		It can take many forms, from the casual boater doing a stern squirt, to spending an hour cutting up a wave on the way down the river, to dedicated play missions, where challenging a specific play feature is the entire goal for the day.
		Playboating can be done on flatwater and in eddylines, as well as on waves and in holes.

	Rodeo's Ripple Effect
		Call it rodeo, playboating or freestyle, this movement onto the bleeding edge of technology and technique is transforming kayaking into a Generation Extreme passion.
		The paddling community has long been active in river conservation and access but the hundreds of people now paddling in parks are moving river clean-up and beautification efforts to the front burner in many communities.
		As today's younger playboat paddlers make the transition to careers and families, and as their bodies age, the question is not so much whether they'll keep paddling as to whether they'll keep playboating.

	should playboating be in the olympics
		should playboating be in the olympics - 2006/02/07 13:53 i think it has to be in the olimpics it would be so cool 2 watch and it would rele get kayakin out there nd noticed plus if it is here in 2012 nd we do it i would be up 4 goin and watchin it!!!!!!!
		I think it would be cool if playboating was in the olympics, but it is not likely to happen.
		The fact of the matter is that there are three people who walk away with medals, and everyone else goes home with the satisfaction of knowing that they got to represent their country and compete on the world stage, and that they are an Olympian- just as much as the guy with the new bling.

	Welcome to Paddle Culture International
		With the advancement of boat design and technology, playboating kayaks are now created with short front and back ends to enable the initiation of tricks by pushing the ends into the water.
		Known also as rodeo boating, it is the paddling equivalent of BMX trials for cycling, and is equally demanding for its high technical skills challenge.
		Flatwater moves are done in a pool instead of in dynamic whitewater, but flatwater rodeo is equally if not more demanding as playboating in rivers, as there are no hydraulic effects to aid in the movement of the boat.
