内容简介

Join in the joy of canoeing with Gordon Grant, World Champion canoeist and one of America's leading canoe instructors, as he puts his bombproof four-week course of instruction into words. With his unique, stream-tested method, Grant gives beginners the tools and tips they need to control a canoe on lakes and moving water. You'll be able to run Class II and easy Class III whitewater with confidence after reading this book and practicing Grant's recommended exercises. As you gain skills you learn about more advanced canoe designs and materials, safety and rescue, how to read a river, the importance of scouting rapids, and knowing your own and your paddling partners' limitations.
