i like to kayak but not canoeing. The difference is the  sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.
I love to canoe but don't like to kayak
Why not Kayak is more fun. It is propelled by means of a double-bladed paddle.
I don't like that enclosed feeling you get. Maybe you can convince me that kayaking is something I should try
Well the enclosed feeling is good because it  prevents the entry of water from waves or spray and makes it possible for suitably skilled kayakers to roll the kayak: that is, to capsize and right it without it filling with water or ejecting the paddler. DO you get tat now!
No! It feels like I'm going to be trapped in there. I do like that kayaks are lighter, though. Do you own one?
Yes, A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat
