Great book with very specific directions. To the point and succinct. Every kayaker should read and practice all the rescue methods possible. One never knows when one might be needed. This books illustrates tried and true methods that really work and makes their implementation clear to the kayak newbie. I found it very helpful and would recommend it to anyone new to kayaking or new to rescue instruction.

I took a rescue class from the author some years back, and I found this a useful book for reviewing all the important basics. It's well illustrated enough that you could figure stuff out just from the book, but you'll still want to go out and practice! Highly recommend this as a starting point, though. It contains all the rescues you're ever likely to need.

Although nothing beats taking a course and constantly practicing your re-entry techniques, this book is still a valuable addition to anyone's kayaking library. It covers all the techniques in all conditions with great photographs and diagrams.

Great Book...clear and comprehensive. Some manuals are too wordy or technical...this was a joy to read with great information.
