If you want to learn all about kayaking… if you want to start kayaking but don’t know where to start… if you want to short-cut your learning curve and look like an veteran kayaker after just a few times out on the water… then this book was written just for you.
Kayaking isn’t complicated once you know a few basics. In fact, it's way easier than "regular boating”. Some of the reasons are:
- Kayaks aren’t as expensive as boats…
- It doesn’t take a long time to learn the basic strokes and language…
- Most kayak veterans are nice people and are willing to help you get started
- You can learn at your own pace (you don’t have to do white water rapids)…even by yourself
- It’s fun!
And you don't need to know a lot of technical stuff or be in really great shape to get started…That's the big secret.
In fact, there are only a few key tricks and tactics that can make you TEN TIMES better as a kayaker once you know them.
Here's just some of what's inside this book:
