Dear canoe4canada, I'm a huge fan and enjoy reading your website.

I do some canoeing myself and wonder if you have any advice how I can be as great as you guys. When I paddle my c-1 does nothing but circles - there are no canoers in my country what should I do?!
Please canoe4canada - help me.

Hello AG, brilliant question. Well, first things first, start practicing your j-stroke, as for national competition… we at c4c are sorry to hear that none of your fellow countrymen are taking part in the best on-water sport going. But like in all things, practice makes perfect, good luck “straightening out”.
