In the canoe division is the recreation class the same as the stock class?
No, they are different as described above. Because the recreation class has a relatively short race course length it is ideal for novice competitors to try their skill, experience the fun of the competition and learn about what can go right and go wrong at the start, when wake riding, at the buoy turn(s) and at the finish. The stock class is generally more competitive and always a longer distance then the recreation class. The same boat designs are often used in both the recreation and stock classes.
