Outdoor Ed Article Assignment #3
No Room for Blame in Whitewater Tandem Paddling – Kyle Smith
Rating: ***
This is an informative article. It gives a number of
interesting and useful tips on becoming a better, and also more tolerable,
paddler.
This article focuses on aspects of tandem whitewater
canoeing. In addition to tips on technique, such as learning to read the
rapids, it also gives tips on communicating with your partner and understanding
your own role in the boat.
After reading this and hearing the tips it had to offer, I will
be a better paddler, and I think that it will be just a little bit more
enjoyable to be in the boat with me. I will probably also try to do more white
water paddling, if only easy rapids, to try to develop my skills further and to
be an all around better paddler so, should the need arise, I will be able to
react quickly to anything that happens on the water.
