We use the same designation in the U.S. The kayak is propelled with a double ended paddle.

Where as this is what we call a kayak.



The main difference being the enclosed deck. This one has a reasonably large cockpit opening, but even still, I cannot imagine how pleat sweeping can take place.

The canoe in the first picture gives all the room in the world to adjust one's pleats.
