Path of the Paddle: Doubles Whitewater

Documentary
This short film from canoeist Bill Mason shows how to read the rapids and plan a course and follow it, with complete control of the boat, using the basic paddling strokes. Running rapids will always be a calculated risk, but risk diminishes with skill and knowledge. The strokes can be used in endless combination to reduce the risks of whitewater canoeing and increase the sheer joy and exuberance. Part of 'Path of the Paddle: Whitewater', in Bill Mason's Path of the Paddle Series.
