Check Out What Others Are Saying...
"I'm a raft guide and I liked this book a lot. It's a short read that covers the basics and doesn't go too deep into any one area. And that's good; kayaking is one of those things you have to just put down the book and go do if you want to figure it all out. I liked the focus on safety and preparedness, especially for people who don't know anything about the sport. The author put in plenty of youtube links to explore - that's really, really cool For example, he talks about how to get back into your boat when it flips and then there are video links to help put all the concepts together. So it's a really good combination of written and video presentation that makes things flow and gets you thinking about what you're getting yourself into."
