Introduction to Paddling: Canoeing Basics for Lakes and Rivers

This is a concise, but well-done book on paddling. It includes both basic and some more difficult paddling strokes. It includes other aspects of paddling, such as car-topping. I bought 12 of them, to give to my summer camp canoeists.

Basic guide. Not very long. Good illustrations. I am hoping to get a canoe and this is a good start. I'm impressed with the detail in this short book.

The American Canoe Association's Introduction to Paddling, canoeing basics for lakes and rivers, is a short and clear introduction to canoeing. It describes the canoe and related equipment, how to use same, and several cautionary thoughts. The strokes described are few and clear, and river maneuvers and safety considerations are clearly laid out. A fine introductory handbook for any novice canoeist, and probably all that is needed for thye casual paddler

I am giving this book to a young fellow interested in kayaking and canoeing.

I'm not sure what happened here. There is no content, just questions that look to be about each unit. Maybe it's meant to be a supplement to the actual book to photocopy for class tests, but it's basically useless as a source of information on canoeing.

Great for helping teach my daughter how to paddle the canoe.

Exactly what I wanted

The book is titled Introduction to Paddling and I need it to teach a class. Inside the book is religious material and worksheets.
