Canoeing

We were going canoeing. I was giddy with excitement. The entire day had been filled with exhilarating fun, and to top it all off, canoeing! I admit, being at a two-day camp with my fifth grade classmates was enjoyable. Really enjoyable. However, it also had its downs; I had gotten ready before everyone else in my cabin (as usual), and that meant I had to sit on my bunk and wait for everyone else, jiggling my leg impatiently. My mom’s always told me that I get my impatience from my father. I always

Here is a really great move to learn if you are going to start canoeing any amount. 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

Kayaking is an interesting water sports that is becoming very popular. It gives trilling experience as you set about conquering the water element alone! Kayaking is unlike canoeing, differing from it by the sitting position of the rower in the kayak, the name of the paddle-boat, and the type and number of blades on the paddle. In kayaking, the paddler, or the rower of the kayak, sits facing forward and placing his or her legs

Canoeing is fun! It's fun on your own, and it's fun with one or two friends or family members. Most standard canoes, though, at fourteen to eighteen feet in length, cannot comfortably accommodate more than three passengers. A beginner's initial experience with canoeing should be on a calm pond or lake, or a calm stretch of river. If it's especially windy, or the lake is crowded with powerboat users and jetskiers, the experience may not be as much fun and the beginning canoeist may become frustrated

Canoeing was always something I had wanted to do. Years ago, my family and close friends would go canoeing down the beautiful Cedar River in Osage, but I was always too young to go along. This past summer, while sitting in the shop with my dad and brother, on a hot and humid day, my dad suggested that we should go canoeing down the Upper Iowa River. I jumped up with excitement as I was so happy that I would finally get to go canoeing. When Sunday came around, my mom, dad, Theo, and I headed to

experience the fear and terror that struck my eyes when canoeing down a lake in Canada. A few years ago back in 2014 I went camping in Canada, but this is not just any sort of camping trip, with a nice “rustic” log cabin fitted with WiFi to make your camping experience more”pleasurable”. No,no,no, this was REAL camping. Miles and miles away from any sort of any human civilization with no more supplies than what you bring on your back. This was a canoeing backpacking trip meaning my family and I rented a

But most of these wannabe paddlers find it difficult to pursue their hobbies as they fail to find like minded companions and don 't really know where or how to hone their skills.

“Wake up! We are here!” said my dad. I opened my eyes and see that we are going canoeing today for the first time! I was super excited because I never went canoeing before and I’ve always wanted too. We got in lines to get our tickets and was preparing to go on the canoe. As I was trying to step into the canoe, it started to rock back and forth. I was scare for a moment since this was my first time ever going canoeing. We each went into our own canoe and started to practice paddling. I was struggling

The wind was roaring as it led every strand of hair on my head in an intricate dance in every direction. The pleasant mixture of fish and salt drove me closer to the water’s edge where the lake’s opaque blue surface shimmered from the sun’s reflection. Waves crashed onto the shoreline slapping and dragging the sand further into the water. Canoes lined up across the shore begging to be paddled in the water. The red canoe was the one that caught my eye. So simple yet so powerful. Nothing sounds more
