In its human-powered form, the canoe is propelled by the use of paddles, usually by two people. Paddlers face in the direction of travel, either seated on supports in the hull, or kneeling directly upon the hull. Paddling can be contrasted with rowing, where the rowers usually face away from the direction of travel and use mounted oars (though a wide canoe can be fitted with oarlocks and rowed). Paddles may be single-bladed or double-bladed.

Good plain straight forward advice. Old video, but good advice never gets old.
It’s amazing how many people don’t haven’t a clue about canoeing while on a trip . Thanks
Me & my wife just bought a canoe. This is a very good tutorial. Thank you!
I'm 71 and a longtime paddling lover. I had different canoes. Lately, I bought my 2nd 12 feet solo canoe, an Esquif Adirondak 42 lbs. Easy to portage. Last year I had a recreational 10' kayak. I sold it, although it was a good and comfortable one. Can't stand that left-right, left-right paddling. I can paddle a canoe alone on the same side and going in straight line. Even it's only a 12 ft canoe, I can load near 500 lbs in it. Great for solo canoeing-camping.
I highly recommand to take canoe paddling lessons, not matter if you want to paddle in still waters or white waters.
Great video! I have been canoeing off and on for 40 years and I learned some real good tips from this video.
Also, there is a Old Town Canadienne in the video, which hasn't been made in a looong time, but I have one my self. It's a darn good boat.
Great narration! so concise..reminds of old highschool films on the reel to reel projectors!!
Same!
A very well made video with lots of great information for new canoeist.
I’ve got a green Discovery 158 from the same era that this video was made in (early-‘90s), still a great canoe thirty years on. As a Mainer, I’m proud to say, “Old Town for life.”
oh my gosh - I always have had to relearn the trucker's hitch every year because it was never explained as simply as in this video! thanks!
One of the more effective instructional videos on RUclips. (See also: "How Differential Steering Works").
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
Very informative. I will need to watch a few more times to pick up all the great advise!
jam010148 Thanks for watching!
Great video! I am ready to start taking the family out canoeing.
Great video, thanks. I'm going to show people this vid when there's bow paddler with me. Good crash course. I'm fairly new myself - 2 or 3 years, but also I usually paddle solo, so I need a lot of practice with dual paddlers.
Delusional Dave Hall Thanks for watching!
Well done description. You may add the importance of fore and aft trim when doing a back (downstream) ferry. When the stern is heavier than the bow (like we usually do when heading downstream) it can cause the stern of the canoe to act like a rudder. This can be a disaster in big water as it digs in with such force you can not overcome the canoe from swapping ends. Search for Canoe Trim, or how to improve your back paddle on you tube.
This was a great video for beginners.
Thanks for the refresher course 👍
great video, thank you.
Just what I needed, thanks.
Larry Bell Thanks for watching!
Excellent. Thanks for posting.
Mark Cunliffe Thanks for watching!
Great vídeo. Very informative. I have na open top canoe but there are very few of them in Portugal. Thanks
Luis Marques Thanks for watching!
Thank you very much for this video
Like everyone else, I think this is a great video. Do you know its year of production? I really like this style of educational video, it feels straightforward, honest, wholesome, and authoritative, and reminds me of my primary school years when these were commonplace...
It was published September 1, 2012?
Mason Myers I'm guessing it's much older than that. Maybe it was posted on 2012, but it's way older. It was done on VHS, and judging by the style, I'm guessing more like the 80's
It says '91 at the beginning of the video ;)
A teacher is teaching a class and she sees that Barack isn't paying attention, so she asks him, "If there are three ducks sitting on a fence, and you shoot one, how many are left?" Barack says, "None." The teacher asks, "Why?" Barack says, "Because the shot scared them all off." The teacher says, "No, two, but I like how you're thinking." Barack asks the teacher, "If you see three women walking out of an ice cream parlor, one is licking her ice cream, one is sucking her ice cream, and one is biting her ice cream, which one is married?" The teacher says, "The one sucking her ice cream." Barack says, "No, the one with the wedding ring, but I like how you're thinking!"
Good one...LOL
Thank you!
Thanks for watching!
great video!
Thanks for watching!
Excellent coverage of the basics for introduction to canoes & canoe strokes & techniques.
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
Very informative!
mokotramp Thanks for watching!
Great video
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
great video...it's funny bc I know someone who told me the bow paddler never uses a pry...as an experienced paddler, it is one of the most useful and powerful strokes...they didn't use it so much in this video as they had the bow paddler using the cross bow draw, which everyone I know who uses that, DUMPS!!!
Kathy Turner Thanks for watching!
Kathy Turner anyone WHO dumps with a cross bow draw {CBD} just hasn't learned to do it right.As a C1er I can tell you a cross bow draw is extremely useful. Watch Olympic canoeists and you'll see the CBD all over the place.
Both CBD & pry work really well, if you know how to tilt the canoe while doing them.
I use cross bow draw all the time without dumping. That happens if you don't know what you're doing, due to lack of practice. A pry can work just fine, but it also has its drawbacks, such as when the boat hits a slightly submerged rock with the paddle caught between the boat and the rock. This can also dump the boat or cause the paddle to get knocked out of hand. At any rate, it's all about practice. In decked canoe, C1, cross bow paddling is almost as common as standard "strong side" paddling. So when you use it that frequently, you become extremely proficient at it.
I think you can pretty much say that whenever says "you NEVER do this", they are probably over generalizing.
I am making my girlfriend watch this before we go
chris patterson Thanks for watching!
Did u survive
LOL YES SIR
I sent this to mine to watch before we go, she said "it's too long, I'll look for a shorter one" so I guess I am going to die
Beyond the Backyard did you guys survive.?! 😐🤞🏻
No mention of Aluminum? No mention of a "shoe keel"? Oh how quickly forgotten. Grumman, Alumicraft, Michicraft where fore art thou? Paddling across a lake, give me a keel for straight paddling. White water, sure, ABS and soft keel.
Man, they don’t make things like this anymore.
2018?
my shaft is always vertical before the stroke
It took 11 months but heres a like for that shit ass joke.
Summarized: Push the water the opposite direction you want to go.
I'm black and I feel white tryna learn how to canoe lmao
Give it a try!
Sorry for the delayed response. Everyone can canoe or not...that is what makes the USA such a great country! Thanks for watching!
It is fun!!!
*native
This is an excellent video! What was it originally titled?
dabomb7887 The title credits on the video also are “Introduction to Canoeing” ... looks like a 1991 original release date from the opening credits. It’s a great find, isn’t it? I love RUclips for this kind of stuff ...
I had to watch his for BSA boring, but informational
Thanks for watching!
Pause a moment and picture the narrator telling a joke.
hmmm here I've been doing it wrong all these years.
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
I did it at camp
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
Where can I find the boat in any country you are?
Google?
It`s a very gay friendly sport, I like it!
pry strokes are useless, you would do better doing a 8 stroke, its alot faster aswell.
Mike C
That is rubbish. The pry is a very useful and powerful stroke.
Mike C 8-Stroke engine, lol.
The pry is one of the basics & used by everyone everywhere.
boo-bop-a-boo-bop i'll teach you how to use a CANOOOOOOOOOOOOE
Sorry for the delayed response. Thanks for watching!
I’ve never been in a Canoe before, therefore I must give you a thumbs down...sorry.
