| Symmetry |
| Symmetrical |
Symmetrical canoes have the same shape from the centre forward to the bow as they do from the centre back to the stern. These canoes have an even and predictable feel. |
| Asymmetrical |
Asymmetrical canoes have a sharper, sleeker bow, as well as increased rocker in the bow. The stern is shorter and rides deeper in the water. These canoes tend to be quick with less initial stability and better suited to more skilled paddlers. |
