Kayak is the one you squeeze into, and have a skirt around you that keeps the water out.
Canoe is an open right through..

not strictly speaking - its the type of paddle used.
I assume he means he cant fit in a closed cockpit type.

I always thought a canoe was open with a single paddle and a kayak was the closed top with a twin paddle.

Had a fibreglass sea farer and it was great in big open water but I snapped it twice in rivers. My mini kayak was abs with blow up buoyancy that I left out was bloody brilliant could barrel roll with no efffort turned damn quick too.

Kayaking is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.
A kayak is defined by the International Canoe Federation (the world sanctioning body) as a boat where the paddler faces forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle. Most kayaks have closed decks, although "sit-on-top" kayaks are growing in popularity, as are inflatable kayaks which come without a deck.
Other than by the minimum competition specifications (typically length and width (beam) and seating arrangement it is difficult to differentiate most competition canoes from the equivalent competition kayaks. The most common difference is that competition kayaks are always seated and paddled with a double-bladed paddle, and competition canoes are generally kneeled and paddled with a single-bladed paddle.
