For many years people have been paddling canoes with long double blade paddles, and there are whitewater canoeists who 'convert' certain kayak models into 'whitewater canoes' by removing the seat and outfitting the hull with the appropriate arrangement enabling the paddler to kneel (crouch). The W itself lends itself equally well to single blade and double blade paddling. It seems that paddling with a single blade paddle makes more sense solo, and paddling 'canoe style' works better for tandem. Wayne has introduced yet another dimension by using a pair of oars rather than a paddle, and I think it's an interesting idea. I haven't yet heard of rowing kayaks, but rowing canoes have been around for a while, and there are some rowing catamarans as well.

However, I don't see how anyone could call it a kayak since it's definitely something else. Even when he paddles it he's using a canoe paddle! Q.S.
