The watch can only report the supported activity types so the answer is no. A custom activity is based on one of the existing activity types.

If your watch does not support Canoeing directly, you can use a Connect IQ app for recording your paddling activities as Canoeing. If you do not find any app specifically for Canoeing, you can use an universal app like the "Any Activity" or "Any Sport" apps.
But keep in mind that with IQ Apps you can't return to the watch face or glances while recording, doing so will end your activity (depending on you watch, works fine with Fenix6, won't work with 7 an newer). And you will not have the paddle stroke count.
