What Is Freestyle Canoeing?**
FreeStyle canoeing is the “art and science” of quietwater paddling. FreeStyle canoeing emphasizes smooth, efficient flatwater paddling and precision boat control. FreeStyle is a combination of techniques that integrates body, boat, and paddle in harmony. Freestyle can be applied to all canoeing situations. Many freeStylers paddle to music making it an expressive, interpretive art form. FreeStyle technique can add efficiency, grace and fun - especially fun - to almost any paddling experience. FreeStyle paddling requires no special equipment other than a boat, a paddle, a PFD, and – in most cases - a kneepad.
