Great guide for the beginner,
By A Customer
This review is from: Whitewater Kayaking (Canoe & Kayak Techniques) (Paperback)
I've just started white water kayaking and found this book to be a fantastic refresher. It covers all of the basics in a clear, straight-forward manner. I highly recommend it for someone who is just starting out in the sport or someone who wants to review the fundamentals.
