Great feature. So inspirational. There was a time when people didn't have to have a 'white water canoe'. They just knew how to handle themselves out there.
Reminds me of my first trip down the Alagash with my father when I was 13. Because we took a short course on reading rapids and paddling techniques we were able run the whole river without going over. My cousin and uncle, who didn't take the course, went over 4 or 5 times.

Paul is so good and so young here still.
As good a canoeing documentary as I've ever seen! Beyond excellent!

Only one word describes this:Wholesome. Except for the scene of that beautiful boat floating downstream. I will have nightmares after seeing that.
Great to see this video online in such good quality. Thank you, NFB !

"Looks pretty tricky" in this kid's voice is like a canadian "This is heavy, doc"
