Solo Canoe Basics

skill level:	beginner
ages:	adult

Whether you're interested in paddling tandem or solo, we think every canoeist will benefit from solo canoe instruction. In a solo canoe, you easily discover how your actions make the boat move, without another paddler to consider (or blame!). We'll cover a few key strokes including how to go straight without switching sides. We will also cover quick, sharp turns as well as gentle, carving turns, always with an eye on efficiency of motion and grace. We will also discuss what to do if you should tip.

Note: In case wind or water quality do not cooperate, we will use alternative backup locations. For courses at Esther Beach, backup locations are Olbrich Park or Rutabaga Paddlesports. For courses at Olbrich Park, backup locations are are Esther Beach or Rutabaga Paddlesports
