Paddling Technique! - open canoe -

[@lizdg3892]

Amazing skills and techniques. So graceful. Just a newbie learning paddling techniques and loving it. Great video. Thanks for sharing.

[@canoeing]

@Liz Dg Thank you for watching! I am glad that you enjoy my videos.

[@aleksandertelecki8122]

Impressive! Was a pleasure to watch this video. Here in Europe, Poland, canoeing isn't very popular. I've never seen WW canoeing here. One question: how do you call this thing you're knelling on in the boat? PAX

[@canoeing]

Thank you for your comment. The one I'm sitting on is shown in another video. Please watch the video at this link. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5TLmYtofbmeis0si=Z1zywVX9TawRsJ6-

So wonderful! Thank you!

Thank you for your pleasant comment!

[@NikonF5user]

Would you feel comfortable in the same situation with your Penobscot 16? How do you feel the two compare on rivers? Thanks!

[@canoeing]

Thanks for your comment! I also have a Penobscot 16. This canoe is not suitable for eddy catch because it has more straightness than rotation. However, it is suitable for downrivers due to its round bottom.

[@andrewdowns4803]

Those Charles Rivers are nice. Tough to find.

[@canoeing]

I also want Charles River RX.

[@pedroi31]

Is that an Allagash paddle in your canoe? By your right knee

[@davegott996]

Inspiring!!

[@canoeing]

Thank you so much!

[@YdocFrench]

What kin of hat do you wear? I am searching for one with more coverage from the sun but that can get wet. Amazing channel!!

[@canoeing]

Thank you for your question. My hat is Wilderness Village×tent-Mark DESIGNS Wilderness Hat made in Japan. It is also sold on Amazon, but it does not ship overseas. I will let you know the Amazon link.

[@YdocFrench]

@@canoeing Thank you. I looked it up. Its a great looking hat. I think we have similar designs here in the US.

[@Triiiop]

You make very good videos! Where did you learn the fundamentals of your outstanding paddling technique?? I am trying to become better like you.

[@flavorman9159]

Watch bill mason’s path of the paddle series

[@canoepoler]

@@flavorman9159 It shows! Nice!

[@canoeing]

Thanks! that's right. I learned paddling by watching a video of Bill Mason. And I practiced repeatedly.

[@j.t.c.9157]

You, making it look so easy.. me, the victim in a white water rescue. Amazing control of your boat!!!

[@blackspruceroutes]

no air bags?

[@canoeing]

Thank you. I will install the airbag depending on the river condition.

[@flavorman9159]

Is your Camper your only canoe? You do great things in it. I have an old town osprey 140

[@canoeing]

Thanks FlavorMan. I have two Campers. I also have a Penobscot 16. I know the Osprey 140 exists, but I haven't actually seen it. It is rarely imported in Japan.

[@flavorman9159]

It’s short and fat, but it handles rapids pretty well. Wonder how much it would cost to get me and my boat to some of these rivers in Japan?

[@canoeing]

@@flavorman9159 Thank you for your question. I'm sorry, I don't know the cost of shipping the boat. Where does Flavorman live?

[@kenellison2137]

What is the length of the Camper? 15 or 16 feet?

[@canoeing]

Thank you for your question. My Camper is 16 feet.

[@kenellison2137]

Thanks! I'm looking at a used 16 footer for lake camping and class 1 to low class 2 river travel. I would be using it as a solo with a total load of roughly 400 lbs. I had a 15 footer in mind, but yours seems quite agile. Of course, I assume that's more about your skill level than the canoe! Maybe the 16 would work?

[@canoeing]

We recommend 16ft based on your usage. The reason is that a larger loading space is advantageous in an emergency. If you install a flotation bag on a river canoeing, the loading space will become smaller. Also, the 16ft canoe has a beautiful shape. The advantage of the 15ft is that it is light and has good turning and maneuverability.

[@bigfoot9421]

I want to be like this guy when I grow up!
