Every variety of canoeing - whitewater paddling, hot-dogging, free styling, tripping - is built upon two essential skills: an understanding of rivers and the ability to move you boat. The Canoe Handbook introduces the basic maneuvers that will soon have you paddling with confidence on both quiet lakes and rushing white water. Each chapter includes valuable, competition-proven tips on paddling technique from instructors at the acclaimed Nantahala Outdoor Center in Bryson City, North Carolina.
