I am new to canoeing, heck I don't even have a canoe. But I do have dreams and goals. Anyway, I read about Bill Mason and what he calls 'canoe ballet', but I did not understand what he meant...until I came across this YouTube video.
I had no idea that such maneuvers could be performed in a canoe. As Bill Mason is not around to ask, I can only imagine that this is similar to what he was refering to. Thought some of you might like to see it.

Yes, that is canoe ballet. You can obtain a book or dvd on Canadian style paddling through Becky Mason, Bill's daughter at this link: http://www.redcanoes.ca/becky/canoe/index.html
