[neemguy81]

[Toast579]

"ooo' you better believe thats a paddlin'"

[xXJFateXx]

I didn't realize I had typed in "canoe" and clicked this video until it was almost done. it's like i was lured here by his hi-tech fanny pack. I keep imagining his legs are the canoe.

[SchoolKidz]

[angelo080889]

[jasongaza2]

[DragiJablanov]

Ovo je fantastično. Trebalo bi da bude i titl na Srpskom jeziku.

[dwcubatch83]

c'mon paddle already !! to many talk

[axlejeffhenry]

how come you dont have any legs?

[pj952008]

@axlejeffhenry there in the boat dumbass

[Chocolatebunnyftw]

ive got to do canoeing at my school trip, this guy makes it sound more boring than i already thought it was :P

[moogeee129]

egret. bet you cant hando da ocean like REAL paddlers can

[KrazyKazooie]

So where do you buy a canoe or get lessons and i dont think i live next to any canoe-able rivers

[TeamAlwayzHonest]

step one. find elliot kwong

step two. put him in the water.

step two and a half. pull your scooter out of your bag.

step three. beat him senseless with a scooter.

step three and 7/8. store him in your garage.

[MrSLaKoNe1]

why does he bother strapping his legs in on flat water

[Disciple1818]

This is a fail, hes gonna flip it and drown

[XCalatronX]

I wanna do this shit so fuckin badly!!!!

[excelmyway]

I have a pelikan two seater. I am pretty heavy guy (280lb) when I go fishing usually I am alone and I am seating at rear seat. Is that the way I supposed to do ? or should I place myself at center of the canoe. ? Thanks.

[CurlyFryzz]

@excelmyway

If both ends of the canoe have a point, sit on the bow seat facing backwards (towards the stern). This will bring you closer to the center. If its still not good enough, try kneeling at the center. You might need something to kneel on tho.

[capitanplunger]

this is all wrong first he's sitting in the wrong part of the canoe he should be at the back/stern of the canoe that ''box'' stuff doesn't mater as long as you have the right size of paddle and are holding it correctly.

[capitanplunger]

@capitanplunger sorry I wasn't thinking please ignore my above comment.

[Virginityrocks]

0:57 fish jumps

[adorkableLOVE96]

You also have to twist your whole body and reach an dpull ; i paddle for Napili Canoe Club

[unclejohnthezef]

could you please number the videos, it's quite hard to follow them in any order

thanks for good stuff (even if you are strapped in like a wannabe kayaker)

[Glooby222]

wat is the idfference between canoeing and kayaking

[evilguy563]

I'm planning on buying a canoe thats about 16 feet long and about 25 kg. Whilst I have some experience kayaking I have only been canoeing once so can someone tell me if this is too long/heavy for solo use. Thanks

[dpmbn8]

it's less about those particular specs than it is about the use you have for the boat. i say paddle a few if you haven't paddled solo much. check out my vids. I have a 14.5ft that is 44lbs i paddle solo and a 15'9" tandem that weighs 80lbs. I paddle solo. both work great. learn more about rocker, shallow "V" hulls, initial and final stability. those are the characteristics that will help more than length and weight.

[calsonick]

For fuck sake yap yap yap just paddle the fuckin canoe too much talking not enough paddling

[Inquisitor53]

@calsonick : It's his show, not yours.

[hefumado444]

i think i watched that :59th second at least 15 times and i had no clue at all what you were talking about. i had to look at further comments to see.

[DeanC993]

has he got any legs??????

[NowayLaughs]

1:14 around there, you can see his knees bent in half

[DeanC993]

oh.

[Maxandtheletter7]

strapped in so he can roll the boat

[nicko978]

:59

[crazycyamaha]

lol i saw that too

[James1927champion]

i really hate canoeing but i got to go every week as part of my course

does anyone know how to get the maximum power in order to go faster?

please tell me cos i suck

[chrissept21]

pratice its an art and you gotta do it to get faster and stronger

[Aspenfash899]

i went canoeing in my friend was in the front i was in the back itt was hell we kept bumping into trees in going backwards never again

[exracon]

That means you were responsible for ruddering the canoe. J strokes and sweep strokes work best for correcting the canoe's position.

[steelheadman12]

hahaha i bet ure the only one that noticed the fish

[DerKannibale]

Canoeing is quite fun and fairly easy. I suggest anyone who is interested in canoeing look for a place near where you live that rents canoes so you can see if you like it.

[thestreets18]

what is the difference between kayaking and canoeing?

[salamouis]

Kayaks use a double-bladed paddle and you use a sitting position, canoes use a single-bladed paddle and a kneeling position is the most efficient. Also kayaks are more enclosed.

[McNoots]

does he not have legs no offense

[sandman503]

he is sitting on his knees, a popular way to sit in a canoe, you may be right but i think not.

[chrissept21]

why the hell is he straped in lol

[Inquisitor53]

So he can roll the canoe & get it back upright. Straps are also used for white water paddling so you can use your thighs to control your center of gravity.

[sybaris720]

so i guess you souldn't think outside the box with paddling

[pissingpeopleoff109]

@sybaris720 lol

[EkimJoad]

good video thanks. A fish jumped in the background at 00:57 into it.

[chrissept21]

DAMN IT ALL

i saw it first

i didnt even look at your comment

its natural for fishermen to see de fish i guess

[GenonUK]

Excellent instruction videos for open canoeing. Be sure to check them all out, they're a great help!

[dacrowley888]
