"In the ever varying conditions of wind, waves and rapids the possibilities for acquiring skill in the control of the canoe with poetry and grace are unlimited." Bill Mason, Path of the Paddle.

From Day 1 onwards, everything you do in a canoe will allow you to enjoy what Bill Mason knew better than most after more than 40 years of canoeing. There is nothing in paddlesport quite like working out how to handle a 15 or 16 foot boat so that every trip becomes an enjoyable series of one sweet move after another. Regardless of whether you want to paddle as a tandem pair or as an independent solo, your very first lesson will give you the elementary skills you will continue to sharpen with every successive lesson and trip thereafter.
