This idea of opening up the power circle using a stern draw is very well demonstrated in a 1997 instructional video called "From Here to There Canoe Basics" produced by Joe Holt and Bob Beazley. I believe this video is still available. In addition to this concept it very clearly illustrates a lot of...

Congratulations on your new boat, Big Al. We have the start of a Zoom Armada. Don't worry the boat will teach you how to paddle it.
What's the Slip clinic?

I arrived home Monday at 8PM and this is my first opportunity to post. I had a fun time at my first N branch Armada. I enjoyed meeting a lot of folks who I knew only from posts on this board. The river was fun so after a leisurely start on Sunday morning LEW and I went back and ran the first part ag...

Small OC's

I had the opportunity to spend a whole day paddling a Zoom on Class III water. I found it very stable and easy to paddle. I wonder why they say it's for expert paddlers only.

Mohawk Maxim and other small OC's

Thanks for all the info. I am mostly paddling class III and I am working on catching more difficult eddies, harder ferries, surfing and trying to learn to roll. I am also paddling a converted to C1 Inazone 220. I am interested in an open boat not a Quake or that type of boat. I think the Occoe is to...
