Von der hinteren Coverseite

Written by the American Canoe Association and the Ohio Department of Natural Resources, Introduction to Paddling is an easy-to-understand guide to flatwater and river paddling. Based on an earlier work by the Ohio DNR, Flat-water Paddler, this amply illustrated book tells beginning paddlers everything they need to know, from appropriate clothing to the parts of the boat, from correct strokes to proper safety concerns. Good for instructors and those who like to teach themselves, this book is an important resource for those who like to paddle or want to start. (8 1/2 x 11, 32 pages, diagrams)

“J” Stroke
The “J” stroke, a modification of the forward stroke, is used by solo and stern paddlers to keep the canoe going straight. At the conclusion of a forward stroke with the blade fully in the water, rotate the control thumb outwards and down. The shaft hand pushes the blade away from the boat. The amount of “J” required to keep the canoe on a straight course may vary from stroke to stroke, but should generally be quite slight. This stroke may be a challenging stroke to master.

Stern Pry and Stern Draw
These pry and draw strokes are used as corrective steering or rudder strokes for a boat underway. At the conclusion of a forward stroke, with the blade fully in the water, rotate the control thumb up. Position of paddle shaft along the side of the canoe for a stern pry or away from the canoe for a stern draw.
