Stillwater: Bodies of water such as lakes, dams, or estuaries where the water is generally calm or without significant current flow. Little to no risk of regular impacts of the paddle on obstacles.
River: A flowing watercourse with a current that has continuous movement. Low to moderate risk of regularly impacting the blade of the paddle on rocks or obstacles.
Whitewater: Sections of a river where the water flows rapidly over rocks and creates turbulence and aerated water due to steep gradients or obstacles in the riverbed. High risk of regular impacts of the paddle blade on rocks and obstacles.
