Thought I would share this.
Just to give some perspective on where we are at paddling white water in a canoe.
In Ontario Milo was brought over by the OVKC (Ontario Voyageurs Kayak Club) and taught many of the paddlers his technique
I did not meet him but was taught by people who where taught by him.

And yes they have a boat cover but it is not a hard deck.
But it does give you an idea what they could paddle. The design of the boat looks very close to the classic Prospector.
