English term or phrase: kayaking

OK. Isto aparece numa lista de esportes, sem mais contexto. Queria saber como se chama isto no Brasil ou se fica como no orginal em inglês. Obrigado.

Kayaking

Explanation:
(sorry about the English - I do better expressing my opinion in English). I know am in the minority, but I have seen several sites of resorts and hotels that use "kayak". AND . . . There are differences between a canoe and a kayak - one in particular is the ability of a kayaker to roll over in the water and return to an upright position - impossible in a canoe. See the references below for information about both canoes and kayaks.
