5.0 out of 5 stars Great Guide for Beginners, May 20, 2000
By Aaron G Snyder (Charlotte, North Carolina) - See all my reviews
I am new to paddling and found this to be an excellent guide to getting started. Everything one needs to know about selecting a first kayak, to rolls and recoveries are included. Proper paddle strokes are discussed and every technique is illustrated along with the text. The author also focuses on safety and rescue. Appendixes include checlists for trips, kayak manufactures, equiptment sources, and organizations. Overall seems to be well written with plenty of illustrations to easily understand the concepts outlined.

1.0 out of 5 stars Much better books available., June 7, 2004
By A Customer
I wish I had not bought this. Instead I suggest the DVD "Go Paddle" and the books "The Kayak Companion" and "Kayaking Made Easy".
