This proposal was for a set of tags to describe spots for all sorts of canoing (kayak) disciplines.
The basic tag
This is already an approved tag.
| Key | Value | Element | Comment | Example | Icon |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| sport | canoe |   |
One can do canoing/kayaking here. |
The disciplines
There is a large variety of canoing disciplines, see e.g. [1]. For mapping purposes, it might be useful to distinguish (at least) among the basic ones, as in the following table.
| Key | Value | Comment | Example | Icon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| canoe:type | flatwater | sprint/marathon on flatwater, see [2] | ||
| canoe:type | polo | canoe polo, see [3] | ||
| canoe:type | rodeo | playboating/rodeo, see [4] | ||
| canoe:type | slalom | white water slalom, see [5] | ||
| canoe:type | river_running | (whitewater) river descent, rather leisure activity, see [6] (TODO: Relate to WikiProject Whitewater Maps) |
The services
| Key | Value | Comment | Example | Icon |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| canoe:service | boathouse | a boathouse, may be together with a canoe club | ||
| canoe:service | boat_rental | boat rentals |
