Canoeing Many of us grew up canoeing – or at least thinking we could. Rediscover the joy of quiet paddling – and let us show you some pretty cool strokes and tricks along the way. Taught as a private lesson to individuals, couples, groups, families, and kids are all welcome. Here are some of the skills we'll practice with you in an intro class:
- canoe design and safety gear
- paddle design – sizing of shaft, blades
- launching & landing

- balance & paddler position
- forward stroke review – entry, recovery, torso pivot
- reverse & stopping strokes
- draws – basic and sculling – pivots using draws
- prys – pivots using prys
- j-stroke and river-j
- timing / co-ordination – working on combinations of strokes
- canoe over canoe rescue
We teach intermediate canoeing as well – please
