This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Canoeing and Kayaking (Mass Market Paperback)
We had already purchased a kayak,are novices, and wanted to learn a few basics without going through classes, since we were going on lakes, not white water. The book is packed with all kinds of interesting tips, terms, and knowledge. I looked over many books and decided on this one. Glad I did, it was just what I wanted.

This review is from: The Complete Idiot's Guide to Canoeing and Kayaking (Mass Market Paperback)
Good basic book for the beginner learning about kayaking/canoeing. Filled with many good tips for picking a boat, paddle, and good ideas about what to buy to outfit boat and yourself. Good safety tips too. Since I've never done any kind of boating, this was a worthwhile purchase for me.
