Synopsis

Master the art of sea kayaking in challenging conditions.

Sea Kayak Rough Water Handling by Doug Cooper is an in-depth, practical guide designed for intermediate and advanced paddlers who want to develop confidence and control in rough water environments. Building on the foundation skills covered in his earlier book, Sea Kayak Handling, Doug takes readers into more dynamic, exciting, and demanding conditions.

Drawing from decades of coaching and expedition experience, Doug provides clear, structured instruction supported by accurate sequential photographs and simple, concise explanations. Each chapter explores the technical, tactical, physiological, and psychological aspects of advanced sea kayaking.

Inside you’ll learn how to:

  • Paddle efficiently in high winds and challenging weather
  • Navigate moving water and handle strong currents
  • Develop surf and rockhopping techniques safely and confidently
  • Master tide races and open water crossings
  • Perfect your rolling and recovery skills in real conditions

Rough Water Handling is recommended support material for the 4 and 5 Star (Sea) Awards, making it an invaluable companion for paddlers progressing toward leadership and advanced performance.

Combining Doug’s extensive knowledge, engaging teaching style, and world-class photography, this book transforms complex manoeuvres into achievable, confidence-building techniques for all serious sea kayakers.
