Talk:Canoe slalom

Untitled
"Slalom boats are low volume and have a thin profile to enable them to get underneath the gate poles. Their low volume sterns allow the boat to slice through the water via what is called a pirouette. Typically, new racing boats cost between $1,200 and $2,500 (or £650 onwards for the cheapest constructions in fibreglass)."

Does wikipeida have a standard for currency? this seems awkward. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.48.211.190 (talk • contribs) 14:54, 1 May 2006

Proposed Move
Whitewater slalom has been known as Canoe Slalom since 2008 and this is the term that the International Canoe Federation uses (http://www.canoeicf.com/icf/Aboutoursport/Canoe-Slalom.html).

 * Agree. Canoe Slalom is less descriptive than Whitewater Slalom, especially since it is not done on flat water and is done more often in a kayak (K-1) than in a decked canoe (C-1, C-2). It is never done in the kind of open boat that most people think of as a canoe.  Nonetheless, the term Canoe Slalom is the official name, so we might as well adopt the international nomenclature.
