Chapter 1
Introduction
This book was created to pass on what I have learned to future sprint and recreational kayak paddlers. There are only a handful of books in existence that discuss kayak technique. This book adds to the current gap in the literature.
When I began paddling at the Rideau Canoe Club in Ottawa, Ontario, in a span of 3 years our training group went through 4 different coaches. All excellent technicians however all having very different philosophies on what constituted good paddling technique.
Learning and developing the proper skills to paddle
