I'm not sure how helfpul this is going to be, but you might try this 
website and use their search engine (I have no idea who set this up or 
contributed to it but it is a wiki and if you disagree with the 
definitions, you can sign up and debate the content or add to it):

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Main_Page

Some definitions:

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Type_of_kayaking

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Flatwater

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Open_water_crossing

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Sea_kayaking

http://kayakwiki.org/index.php/Touring
