Editorial Reviews

From the Studio

Classic Solo Canoeing is a superbly crafted video that is both informative and beautiful to watch. Becky's extraordinary skills coupled with some spectacular scenery and Ian Tamblyn's original sound track make this a unique and charming production.

Cottage Life Boating, Spring 2001

If you love a quiet paddle around your lake but lack the skills to go it alone, who better to teach you than Becky Mason.

A clear, beautiful and informative display of canoe paddling techniques. I watched this all winter long when I couldn't get out on the water. Now, if only I could paddle as well as she. Of course my father was not Bill Mason! Some people have all the luck!

This was less about technique than it was about pretty scenes and not-so-deep thoughts. This is a DVD that I won't watch again. If you're looking for a good solo canoeing technique DVD, get Bill Mason's Path of the Paddle Solo Basics. It is everything this DVD is not.

For illustrating the joy and beauty in solo canoeing this book is tops. For those who want tips on efficient solo canoeing, the instructions are more clearly shown than if you were out on the water because the camera focuses in on the details of the stroke. If you were on the water, you would have the distractions of trying to position the canoes so you can see what is being shown. Makes me want to get back in my canoe right now.
