How to Steer and Paddle a Solo Canoe

The following videos are an excellent resource for solo flatwater canoeists. Below you will find videos on many of the fundamental strokes and maneuvers that should be in every canoeist’s arsenal. Although these videos are very informative, they should not take the place of formal paddling instruction. Use them to reinforce what you have learned in your CKAPCO courses or prepare for a new course. Mike Aronoff is one of a few Canoe Touring Instructor Trainer Educators in the world and has devoted his adult life to teaching others to train and learn.
