Keep in mind that their "kayak" category includes whitewater 
kayakers.  While it appears they have data on the different types of 
kayaking they don't attempt to break out the fatalities into those 
categories (e.g. see page 30: "Of the 9.6 million participants of 
kayaking, 31% paddle freshwater with 20% of participation on 
whitewater, 31% paddle exclusively in coastal settings while 12 % 
paddle both fresh and coastal.)
