Synopsis

"The Essential Series" are your trusted guides. 'Does an excellent job' - "Sea Kayaker". 'A standout. Empathy for the reader - what a concept!' - "Canoe and Kayak" 'Filled with the details you need to make paddling safe and pleasurable' - "WoodenBoat". 'We needed a book of this quality' - "Atlantic Coastal Kayaker". Combining the logic of a lesson plan with the grace of informality, this book is the next best thing to having a personal instructor always at your side.Known for nearly a decade as the sea kayaker's bible for its clear, user-friendly approach, "The Essential Sea Kayaker" is now updated and expanded to give you the information you need on: boat and gear selection and care; skills from your first launch through carved turns, Eskimo rolls, and negotiating wind and waves; safety, health, and rescue tips; group and solo paddling strategies; and, seamanship and navigation. Adopted by kayaking schools and seminars worldwide, the best introduction to sea kayaking is now even better.
