Concrete Canoeing - There's no cure!

"Concrete canoeing has become an international epidemic that has no apparent cure"... excerpted from: "The international epidemic of concrete canoeing" by John A. Gilbert and Andrea L. Barnes, Concrete Canoe Magazine, pp. 4-11, 2008.

In 2006, alumni from Laval (eight time Canadian National Concrete Canoe Champs - statistics) published the inaugural issue of "Concrete Canoe Magazine."    Their intent was to disseminate knowledge and recent developments in concrete canoeing and to share experiences among concrete canoe enthusiasts and former participants. If you haven't seen the magazine yet, you can download PDF copies of the first two issues... free... by visiting.

The inaugural issue (left) and the 2007 edition (center) are free on line.
