Sea Kayaking Illustrated November 26, 2008
This is a great book for people new to kayaking. It has fun illustrations and good instruction that is easy to understand. I bought it for myself, my parents, and a friend who is a beginning paddler.
Just what I needed October 11, 2008
About 4 years ago I decided I wanted to take up kayaking, so I bought a copy of this illustrated book, then bought a kayak and I've been paddling weekly ever since (except the Winter). Can you learn from a book? I did. No lessons. Might they have been helpful? Sure, but I have to say that this guide tells a lot and gave me the confidence to go for it. It's also very funny. I only wish I'd taken up kayaking years ago for the exercise, fresh air, and contemplation. Nothing better to escape stress.
Funny and informative March 27, 2007
This book has a lot of GREAT information in it. It gets the points across by funny but sometimes very serious cartoons and illustrations. There is a lot of emphasis on safety which is very important to learn up front.
Great Book! January 4, 2007
This book is fantastic. The pictures combine humor with instruction, and the book itself covers a lot of basics for those just learning about sea kayaking. I've been very happy with it.
Fun, Funny and Informative! October 9, 2006
This is a great books. You almost have to see it to really appreciate it. There are thousands of hand-drawn images which makes everything very, very easy to understand. They make the book fun and you'll even get a giggle out of a few of them. It's definitely worth the money!
