Canoe

When I was in grade 8, I joined the Wascana Racing Canoe Club. Ever since, sprint kayaking has been a huge aspect of my life. I have attended the 2012 Saskatchewan Summer Games, 2013 Sherbrooke Canada Summer Games, 2013 Montreal Canadian Canoe Kayak Nationals, 2014 Regina Canadian Canoe Kayak Nationals, and the 2015 Ottawa Canadian Canoe Kayak Nationals. The picture above is from the 2013 Canada Summer Games. My team boat partner, Alyssa, is one of my best friends. In this picture, Alyssa and I are

Origins of Canoe Paddling Outrigger canoe paddling has been around for more than 2,000 years. This is a sport that is built on strong bond between each person. A canoe can’t glide over the water with out the help of each person in the boat. Working together is the only way the boat will move with ease. This sport has been kept alive hundreds of years and still practiced to this day. Canoe paddling isn’t only used for competitive purposes, but is also, a way of life. Before cars and grocery stores

Wildwood Lake Canoe Company In January 2010, Allan Monroe was preparing for the April opening of the Wildwood Lake Canoe Company (WLC), a canoe manufacturing shop in St. Mary’s, Ontario. Monroe planned to build 30 canoes per year and he wondered what strategy and tactics would maximize his profits. The initiative for WLC evolved from Monroe’s canoeing and woodworking hobbies. Monroe had canoed recreationally for more than 20 years and had built three canoes, which he sold after using them

University’s Concrete Canoe Team. The first time I heard about it was during my freshman course, Light Construction. Light Construction’s Professor’s, Tabitha Lafferre, first discussion included discussing how important extracurricular activities are and recommended any Civil Engineering Technology majors to look into Fairmont State’s Concrete Canoe Team due to their many accomplishments and successful reputation. Professor Lafferre held a class meeting where members of the Concrete Canoe Team came and spoke

My sister and mom shared a kayak, while my dad took a canoe with all of our

In the Caribbean, a tropical and beautiful place, surrounded by blue and clear seawater. Lives ten-year-old Nakili. Adventurous and likes challenges, play’s on the beach with friends until the evening arrives. They will sit on the sand looking at the horizon, watching how the sunlight goes behind the multicolored seas, beyond the white breaking waves on the reef. Nakili was super inquisitive and dreamed of what could be beyond the ocean. His father. The head of Nicaragua's Miskito's indigenous fishermen;

At one point we decided to stop at a campsite for the night and set up camp. We drank most of the water packed and we needed more to cook dinner so me and my dad had to take a canoe to the middle of the lake to filter some more water (if we filtered the water on the shore our water filter would have got clogged with a bunch of scum). It was a pretty windy day this day and normally I wouldn't think too much of it, and I didn’t

For whatever reason whether it be, the person that is sitting in the back of the canoe wants to sit in the front for awhile or vise versa, it is good to know how to do this move properly or you will end up upside down in the water if you make the wrong move. There really isn't any reason to have to do this move, but you never know when it may come in handy. The only reason that I have switched places in my canoe before is because I wanted to trade seats so I could sit and steer in the back and

The Ojibway Culture "The Ojibways affirm that long before they became aware of the white man's presence on this continent, their coming was prophesied by one of their old men, whose great sanctity and oft-repeated fasts enabled him to commune with spirits and see far into the future. He prophesied that the white spirits would come in numbers like sand on the lake shore, and would sweep the red race from the hunting grounds which the Great Spirit had given them as an inheritance.

clouds. As we unmounted the long blue canoes from the truck, we examined what we were about to do. Our examination didn’t take long since we were teenagers we simply said screw it and decided to jump in the river. Taking turns each of us jumped in the canoe and canoed up and down the river. Since it was his canoes, Grayson, a short dark bearded guy with an overconfident air and shorts that were way too short, was first to go. His experience with canoes made it seem as if it was
