Ins and outs of Canoe Racing and Paddling Technique
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
This is a great book. I purchased the book to understand as a kayaker looking to begin Canoeing after my recent kevlar canoe purchase for adventure racing. The book talks about all aspects of Canoeing: solo and double, drafting, forward stroke, j strokes, draw strokes, portaging...you name it and it is covered. I did have to purchase a separate book for paddling navigation, but that is expected...this book is about racing.
Canoe Marathon Racing at it's best

This is a must have book for your better understanding if your a veteran or a new paddler, it doesn't matter! It's either a book of better learning from the best paddlers out there or it's a book of refreshment for those of us who have been around!
Excellent resource.

This book is well written and well organized. Topics include race tactics, training, technique, unwritten and written rules, and equipment. Higher resolution in the photos would have been nice, but most were adequate for the purposes for which the were included. I recommend the book.
