Thanks for posting this, Jim. The Canoe Master at work.

I like how Mason emphasizes the importance of the eddy turns, peel outs, and ferries. I think the club could benefit from instruction in these skills.

When I was a kid I got visits from the tooth ferries. --KenM

We would all be better paddlers if we had water like this. I think this is probably above my "recreational" level of skill.

Just think how many silver streaks there would be on those rocks from my Grumman white water canoe!

Padding elegance! Mason is so smooth and confident!

I noticed he had no floatation in his canoe while paddling whitewater.
