About Me
- Murat
- Toronto, Ontario, Canada
- I'm an avid canoeist and general "outdoorsy type" guy with a bit of an artistic side. Started this hobby of making custom canoe paddles after my disappointing experience with most commercial brands. This site documents various styles of single blade canoe paddles I've made or researched as well as other canoe related info I've stumbled across on my internet wanderings. Kindly note that this site is a non-commercial enterprise and no paddles are for sale. Information provided is for educational use and purposes only. Hope you enjoy your visit.

This is similar to the way the Venetians started rowing standing up, looking forward. You need to get your bearings and stand up, and as tide and wind moves the boat, you gradually learn to control the boat from that position. Add a support for the oar, an oarlock, and you're rowing Venetian style.
