Using your canoe is easy! First, find a calm spot near the water. Gently place the canoe in the water, making sure it's stable. Step into the canoe carefully, and sit in a comfortable position. Grab the wooden paddles and start paddling. Use long, smooth strokes on one side of the canoe to move forward. To turn, paddle more on one side than the other. When using the canoe, always wear a life jacket, even if you're a good swimmer. Avoid rough waters or areas with strong currents. After each use, rinse the canoe with fresh water to remove any dirt or salt. Dry it thoroughly to prevent mold and mildew. Store it in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight to protect the cedar and fiberglass. If you choose to have ribs on your canoe, check them regularly for any signs of damage. Enjoy your adventures on the water with this amazing canoe!
