Editorial Reviews

Review
You'll enjoy the clear, enthusiastic writing and expert advice. This is an inexhaustible classic." -- Canoe News Editor -- May 2004

Review
""" ‘Read Canoe Racing,’ was the advice I got from all my racing friends when I got into canoe racing just a few years ago. So I bought a copy. Not only is it the perfect book for anyone interested in getting into marathon or downriver canoe racing, but it is a perpetual reference for racers who want to get more competitive. You’ll enjoy the clear, enthusiastic writing and expert advice. And like me - like all racers that own a copy - you’ll find yourself going back to sections again and again. This is an inexhaustible classic.""

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent resource., September 12, 2008
By Will Murphy (Hollywood, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is well written and well organized. Topics include race tactics, training, technique, unwritten and written rules, and equipment. Higher resolution in the photos would have been nice, but most were adequate for the purposes for which the were included.

I recommend the book.

By SJC "SJC" (Chicago, Ill) - See all my reviews
This is a must have book for your better understanding if your a veteran or a new paddler, it doesn't matter! It's either a book of better learning from the best paddlers out there or it's a book of refreshment for those of us who have been around!
