Is canoeing a good starting point for surfing? It seems so: the sites for paddling lovers are really a lot, and more, when you consider that paddlers are fewer than excursionists or cyclists; and besides we noticed that most pages we have met are really high quality.
The material we have collcted is obviously limited to the information for paddling as a way of travelling.
The site of Norwegian Canoe Association, apart from providing a big lot of material on Norway, presents the widest collection existing in the net of links to the world of canoeing: more than 1.300! Though not commented, they are
grouped by cathegories, and this makes their consultation easier.
As our last consideration, we want to tell you that, if you love canoeing, you should visit Canada which, at least on Internet, seems to be kingdom of paddlers!
