5.0 out of 5 stars
Great Guide for Beginners,
This review is from: Paddling Basics: Kayaking (Paperback)
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.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Paddling Basics: Kayaking (Paperback)
I wish I had not bought this. Instead I suggest the DVD "Go Paddle" and the books "The Kayak Companion" and "Kayaking Made Easy".
