Where to get: wherever you get your books

If you only buy a few books about canoeing, this one should be part of it. Even though this book is written in the early years of canoeing, it still contains really valuable information about canoeing. Information that is still worthwhile today!

Don't get mislead, they only use classic canoes in this book. But some of the demonstraded skills here are also really valuable in whitewater boats. But most importantly this book offers you a lot of information on classic canoeing. The strokes, the river features, rescue, ... .

The information is well organised and the photo sequences are well chosen to support the text.
