This film explains clearly how to locate a deep water channel by reading the rapids and how to apply the many paddling strokes and maneuvers to steer the canoe where you want it to go. It also depicts what happens if you make a mistake and "wipe out" in a turbulent rapid, and how to survive the swim.

Path of the Paddle : Doubles Whitewater

Running rapids will always be a calculated risk. But risk diminishes with skill and knowledge. In this film, two canoeists paddling double demonstrate how to read the rapids, plan a course and follow it in complete control of the boat, using the basic paddling strokes. The strokes can be used in endless combination to reduce the risk of whitewater canoeing and increase the sheer joy and exuberance of a whitewater run.

The joy and poetry of paddling solo are illustrated in this film, as are all the basic strokes used in maintaining complete control of the canoe. With the aid of animated lines, the path of the paddle is clearly defined so there can be no mistaking what the paddle is doing. The use of the various strokes in rapids is demonstrated sufficiently to whet the appetite to move on.
