This is a complete introduction to open canoeing. Canoeing and
kayaking have topped the UK charts for water sports since 2003,
matched only by angling (British Marine Federation survey). Over
one million people went canoeing in 2008. This is the first
complete introduction to open canoeing in seven years, the most
up-to-date book about how to get into this growing sport. "Discover
Canoeing" is a journey through the sport of open canoeing, its
history, the modern canoe and the future. James Weir gives a fresh
approach to one of the oldest forms of transport known to man.
Colour photos and sequences show each of the techniques stage by
stage, from getting afloat on calm waters, paddling with a partner,
going on a trip or expedition, navigating rapids and righting
yourself with an Eskimo roll after a capsize. Full of tips, tricks
and know-how, this book has all you need to know to paddle your own
canoe, stay safe and have fun.
Ultimate Paddling Adventures takes you on a thrilling tour around
the world’s best paddling spots – from the frozen wastes of

and seas of Europe and visit the stunning waters of the Far East,
Australasia and the Pacific. There are exciting adventures that
will appeal to everyone from novice to expert. Stunning, full-page
photographs put you at the heart of the action, while inspirational
descriptions allow you to dream of being there. It’s perfect for
planning your next paddling adventure, or alternatively allows you
to indulge in some armchair paddling in places to which only the
most adventurous will go. From a leisurely SUP in a breath-taking
Swedish archipelago, where you can stay in the King of Sweden’s
bed (for free!), to an adrenaline-fuelled whitewater kayak down
Chile’s Inferno Canyon, this book has it all. This includes
gentle lakes and rivers, crashing surf, dramatic coasts and the
oceans beyond them. All types of paddle craft are included from
canoes and kayaks to SUP boards and packraft. Every continent is
covered, so expect to find places you’ve paddled alongside those
you never knew existed. Each entry is accompanied by useful
information such as the experience required, how to get there and
what else to do once you are there. Discover where you will paddle
next – in reality or in your imagination.
