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.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lyons Press","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45658155483287,"sku":"9781493045617","price":2226.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781493045617.webp?v=1767943231","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/archery-projectiles-and-canoeing-secrets-of-the-forest-9781493045617","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
