Sometimes relaxed and contemplative as a water wanderer, sometimes ambitious and high-performing as an athlete: that is paddling in kayaks and canoes.
The folding boat was for many the entry point into water sports. For the "little" people, it was the "yacht" that took them to rivers and lakes on weekends to simply unwind from everyday life.
People have been paddling for thousands of years, but it wasn't until the late 19th century that paddling in mostly narrow single-seat boats evolved into a sport primarily for the working class of that time. Today, around 120,000 canoeists from Germany are out on tours and competitions both domestically and abroad with their boats.
Author Arno Boes explores in this book the many forms of canoeing, from serene river excursions to adventures on wild mountain waters, from family trips on weekends to thrilling races at the Olympics. Read, enjoy, and then seize the next opportunity to get into a boat yourself!
The Topic
Moving on water has fascinated people for millennia. When exactly the necessary tools were discovered and then developed into boats and paddles is not precisely documented.
However, what has developed from this to the present day is widespread across the entire world. Among indigenous peoples, canoes and kayaks were used for hunting, transporting, and for initial explorations of their surroundings.
At the latest, after the development of boats as sporting equipment, paddling has blossomed into a recreational activity that is hard to surpass in its diversity. Relaxation, travel, and leisure activities define the many variations of canoeing just as much as performance, training, competition, and great triumphs. Author Arno Boes, a passionate water sports enthusiast himself, provides an overview of the many forms of canoeing and offers 111 reasons why one should go paddling.
