Have you ever sailed into the brink on your canoe trip on Gudenåen?

Have you been looking forward to the canoe trip on Gudenåen (or any other stream or lake) where you had to enjoy a quiet and peaceful trip on the water. But what happened was that you sailed from one brink to the other and had to push yourself free one time after another. It could be that you were getting a little annoyed by it. You probably wished you had heard of some canoeing hacks and tricks that could get you down the river without all those unwanted stops.

Tips and tricks in canoeing make you better at steering a canoe

This course is for those who want to learn how to handle a canoe before going on a trip with family or friends.
The joy of your canoe trip becomes greater when you can control your canoe instead of your canoe controlling you.
On the course you will learn the basic paddling and steering techniques that will make you the king of the river.
In addition to the basic techniques like J-tags and sweep-tags, you also get some fun tags.
For example, you learn how to do a handbrake turn in a canoe. Or have you thought that you can sail a canoe sideways? T
he better you have control of your canoe, the more time you get to enjoy the nature around you.

All of a sudden you have time to see the kingfisher fly past you or watch the otter emerge in front of you.
There are so many experiences around you when you are on the water. You just have to have the energy to see them.
And you have it when you know that your canoe does exactly, what you want it to do.
