The pre-education of paddling starts on a creek with a self-made model boat to understand the dynamics of moving water. On the lake, using a full-sized canoe, paddlers learn how to take control of their craft. Once on current, paddlers are introduced to the never-relenting march of moving water, a phenomenon that must figure into every river maneuver, from planning routes by \"reading\" the water, eddy turns, lateral ferry maneuvers, peel-outs, hovering in place, and running rapids \"dry,\" to river-rescue of capsized boats and \"swimmers,\" and the joy and instruction of slalom. This volume contains more than two hundred original adventures.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Warren\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 149304561X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781493045617\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lyons Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.90h x 8.40w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Warren","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44047203827967,"sku":"9781493045617","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_34e0c7e3-9b70-443e-b155-22175b27b4b8.jpg?v=1684988853","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/archery-projectiles-and-canoeing-mark-warren-9781493045617","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
