There are a number of techniques that can be used in canoes that will enhance your maneuverabilty, using less effort and making your interpretation of the river more effective. We’ll practice back ferries, backwards eddy turns and peel outs. We’ll practice strategies to make more effective ferries. Canoes do certain things better than kayaks and we will learn what they are.

All participants in any Carolina Canoe Club (CCC) trip do so as common adventurers. The CCC or its individual members may coordinate paddling trips but no one is considered leader of a trip. As common adventurers, all participants take the responsibility for making their own decisions including, but not limited to, whether it is safe for them to participate on any particular water body, what equipment they need and use, the routes they may choose to paddle, whether their skill levels and abilities are adequate for the activity or whether climate and water conditions are appropriate for their participation. Participants are exclusively responsible for their own safety.
Individual coordinators for all CCC activities set requirements per their sole discretion. The CCC does not necessarily endorse or approve requirements set by coordinators.
