What is the difference between a canoe and a kayak?
In a canoe a bench style or tractor style seat is in the boat for seating. When you are in a canoe your legs will be bent, much like sitting in a chair. In a kayak the seat is on the floor of the boat. In a kayak your legs will be out in front of you, with a slight bend in them so that you can put your feet on foot pegs that are in front of you.
