    Finally. It's been eleven years since my last paddling dvd, but my latest one is now done! Advanced Classic Solo Canoeing with Becky Mason (catchy title eh?) includes of course the new Advanced Classic Solo Canoeing instructional movie but it also has on it a spell-binding music-video with music by Ian Tamblyn; some behind the scenes bloopers; and I've included my original Classic Solo Canoeing dvd from 2000 on the disk too.
