The Basics of Tandem Canoeing

This is a class for you and your paddling partner. In this lesson, we dispel the notion that there’s a controlling captain in the boat. Instead, we work to establish a team with a single mindset. 

Many tandem paddlers we see are out of sync, switch sides randomly and argue about how to steer the boat. We fix this - and have fun in the process.

For the bow paddler, we teach bow sweeps, bow draws and on-side and off-side bow rudders. With the stern paddler, we teach stern sweeps and stern draws, J stroke and the much-maligned goony stroke (hey, it’s easy and it works). And for both, we teach the power forward stroke, synchronization, and communication. This class will boost your paddling enjoyment - guaranteed.
