We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Kayaking, Kayaks, Canoes and Canoeing.
(For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and the Guide to WikiProjects).
The Kayaking WikiProject concerns the creation, development, and organisation of all Wikipedia's articles about kayaks and kayaking (including biographies) of famous kayakers.

- Playboating, creeking, ocean surfing Modern plastic/CF boats and their progression from hand made fiberglass to plastic and beyond. Progression of paddlers skills, gear, gumption...
- Edi Hans Pawlata: Austrian kayak pioneer; the first non-Inuit to master the Eskimo roll. The Germans have a stub article.
- Percy W Blandford: designer of the PBK; his designs and books popularised kayaking in Britain and worldwide in the post-WWII period.
- Kayak fishing: this is not a new article, but it has recently been revamped. It is rated low importance, so I guess it's a waste of time taking it any further.

- Nelo (canoes)
- Sit-on kayak
