{{Tasks
| requests = See [[Wikipedia:Requested articles/Sports#Canoe and Kayak]]
| assess = See [[:Category:Unassessed Kayaking articles]]
| category = 
| citations = 
| cleanup = 
The [[Kayak Roll]] article would benefit from cleanup before it is expanded (below)
| copyedit = 
| disambiguation = 
The [[Rock Island State Park]] page links to [[Eric Jackson]], a Panamanian radio announcer, instead of the boater of the same name.
| expand =
The [[Kayaking]] article is in desperate need of expansion. Anyone with a moment to spare; we would appreciate your help. Merging the [[boofing]] article and other articles about specific techniques and moves will provide basis for expansion. It is likely to be necessary to keep separate articles for styles of kayaking (i.e. [[whitewater kayaking]], [[sea kayaking]], etc.)
:The [[PFD]] article is in need of expansion or maybe adding a section about kayaking PFD's or, in whitewater, [[buoyancy aid]]s
:The [[Whitewater]] article is in need of expansion of river features (chutes, holes, waves, etc.). Be Bold! Create new pages for different river features if necessary.
:The [[Buoyancy aid]] article is in desperate need of expansion by someone with good research skills.
:The [[Kayak Roll]] article should be expanded to include all disciplines of rolling and more general detail.

Please list articles you would think should be created here. <!--Don't forget to move them to the New articles needing work section once you have created them -->
* [[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...The [[:de:Edi Hans Pawlata|Germans have a stub article]].
