| 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 aids

: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.
