kattenbo Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Why am I posting about a Canoe Symposium in an NSPN forum? Bunch of reasons: Bunch of folks (like me) paddle more than one type of craft. Folks are curious, like to try something different (the symposium site provides boats if you don't have one, no charge) The "C" in BCU stands for Canoe - and that august body thinks skills learned in "Canadians" are valuable for folks in closed decked boats. And it's true It's a fun, family oriented event with good people, good food in a great location. They have dedicated kids programming through out the event so parents can go to workshops too. I've been twice - had a lot fo fun, learned a lot etc. Here's a link to the event web site - going to be a good program this year: http://www.mainecanoesymposium.org Take a look - give it a try Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kattenbo Posted February 1, 2019 Author Share Posted February 1, 2019 Great - probably saw you there. Are you going again? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kattenbo Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 So...what can you expect at the Symposium? Well, there are a lot of different ways to paddle (anything) - here's pictures of just a few... For committed double blade-ers - look at top left (FYI, I placed just second behind a tandem, paddling a solo canoe with a double paddle - best of both worlds). Top right - using a long pole - great way to get a good view. Middle left - that's the infamous Rock-man - can you say secondary stability? The rest are just pretty.
