Knowing a few simple strokes (and understanding how to effectively communicate with your partner) can help ensure a relaxed evening paddle on the lake. This introduction is the perfect way to learn a few basics of tandem canoeing and discover how easy it can be to paddle together. Come with a partner or by yourself. The concepts covered in Tandem Canoe Basics include getting comfortable in the boat, the role of the bow and stern paddler, basic paddle strokes, boat entries/exits, basic paddler safety and rescue techniques. 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.
