1. Play Daze is an incredible video for anyone who is trying to learn advanced playboating skills. The video covers a wide range of moves, from the basics of stern squirting, to the advanced moves such as cartwheels and splitwheels.

   What makes play daze so exceptional is the fantastic footage and the excellent narration that goes with it. It almost makes you feel like you're watching the action from an eddy with an instructor sitting beside you. The Video clearly breaks down the moves, explains what you need to do, and shows you the action from a variety of angles.

   This video is a fantastic compliment to any kayaker's library. If you're into playboating, and want to learn more advanced tricks, this is a video for you... It's definately one of the best videos produced on the subject of playboating.




2. This video helped take my paddling to the next level. Might sound hokey, but Ken Whiting's approach is totally unique and I've started to use it frequently in the kayak school I now work for.

1 comments about paddling the tandem canoe.

1. I've been paddling canoe's since I was a child and I'm 60 now. My wife is new to canoes but I showed her a few basic strokes and thought we were OK for routine paddling on quiet water. I was mistaken. I'd recently completed a cedar strip canoe of a design that incorporates a performance type hull which typically means it's not very stable in it's primary mode, which is when it's level and not leaning. Nautically this is known as being "tender". It has good secondary stability which means that as you lean it over a bit, it resists leaning further. But if you aren't ready for this, the poor primary stability can be disconcerting.
   
   During our maiden voyage we capsized. I realized we needed more information on how to handle the canoe and I bought "Paddling the Tandem Canoe" by Quietwater films in hopes that we could learn to paddle comfortably in our canoe and not dread going out.
   
   The video was terrific. It explained many things including hull design and how to enter and exit a canoe safely. I thought I knew how to do that but what they demonstrated made a lot of sense. They push for a wet launch, which means we have to buy some water sport footwear and clothing now, but it was good information, and wet launching saves the hull from scrapes and wear.
   
   The real important stuff, like a paddling technique that can prevent capsizing was priceless and well demonstrated. I ran it through twice, and my wife declared we'd have to return to this video with paddles in hand so that we could go through the techniques and get a good feel for them.
   
   I whole heartedly endorse this video, there's so much more to it that I cannot list it all here but it was a real eye opener and well worth the purchase price.
   
   If you've paddled for a while but have not been formally taught, this video should be on your list of must see information.

1. This a great "How-To" DVD for those at a beginning level in a solo canoe. It is straight forward, in simple language, and presented in bite-size pieces.
   
   If you want to learn to solo canoe, get this DVD.
