About the Author
Alex Matthews is a passionate sea kayaker and a successful writer—known for his irreverent wit and humor. His articles are routinely published in paddling magazines, and he has worked in both kayak design and marketing for prominent paddlesport companies. It is no surprise that his sign of the Zodiac is Pisces – the sign of the fish. Ken Whiting is a World Champion kayaker and one of the most influential paddlers in the world. He was even recognized so by Paddler Magazine as one of their “Paddlers of the Century.” For the past twelve years Ken has shared his enthusiasm and passion through his teaching, and through his production of ten best-selling, award-winning instructional books and DVDs on the sport of kayaking

This is a very good book that covers everything you need to know prior to beginning sea kayaking. I would consider myself an intermediate paddler and it was quite helpful to me.
