This introduction is the perfect way to learn a few basics of tandem canoeing and discover how easy it can be to paddle together. Come with a partner or by yourself. The concepts covered in Tandem Canoe Basics include getting comfortable in the boat, the role of the bow and stern paddler, basic paddle strokes, boat entries/exits, basic paddler safety and rescue techniques.
