The Basic Essentials of Canoe Paddling

The revolution in canoe design that's taken place over the past ten years and the development of the bent-shaft paddle have brought to the fore a new style of paddling. It's called North American Touring Technique, or NATT for short. Paddle longer and faster with less effort. Posssess powerful, precise control over your canoe on flatwater, in big lake waves and in touring whitewater. Use all of your body to move the boat rather than just a few relatively weak muscle groups. It will promote a degree of teamwork that makes your days on the water more satisfying. And it's easy to learn! Absolute novices take to it immediately, and veteran padlers adapt to it readily.
