Solo Canoeing: The Basics
Course Overview
Join Becky Mason, Canada’s “First Lady of the Wooden Canoe” and daughter of legendary canoeist Bill Mason, as she introduces participants to the beauty and grace of solo canoeing. Learn the skills that will enable you to "put your canoe exactly where you want it to go." This course is designed to introduce you to solo canoeing including skills such as forward and back paddling, pivots, sideslips, stopping and bracing. Solo canoeing is a great skill even for those who have had prior tandem experience. No solo experience is required but it is helpful if people have paddled a canoe before. Becky was the featured guest during North House’s 8th Annual Wooden Boat Show in 2005.
